Mars, MADEMOISELLE.

Mars, MADEMOISELLE. Anne Françoise Boutet-Mouvel, a great favourite at the Théâtre Français during the first forty years of the 19th century, was born in Paris on 5th February 1779, the illegitimate daughter of an actor Moutet and an actress Mars. She began to act before she was thirteen, joined the Théâtre Français in 1799, and died at Paris on 20th March 1847. She was equally mistress of naïve parts as of those of the coquette, and was especially successful in Molière's masterpieces. Her Mémoires were published in 2 vols. in 1849, and her Confidences in 3 vols. in 1855.
