Biography

Anaïs was born in Toury, Eure-et-Loir, and entered the Comédie-Française in 1816 at the age of just fourteen. In 1832 she was chosen to be the 252nd Sociétaire of the Comédie-Française.[1]

She distinguished herself particularly in ingénue parts, becoming famous in the roles of Chérubin in The Marriage of Figaro and Agnès in The School for Wives.[2]

She had an affair with a British Army general and Member of Parliament, Sir Edward Stopford, resulting in the birth in 1819 of a son who also became a British Army general, Edward Stopford Claremont.[citation needed]

She resigned from the Comédie-Française in 1851 and died in 1871, aged 69, at Louveciennes.
