Léonie Yahne

Léonie Yahne (August 8, 1867 – April 26, 1950) was a French comedic actress.

Her stage roles included Lucienne in Monsieur l'Abbé (1891),[2] Roxane in Cyrano de Bergerac (1900), opposite Benoît-Constant Coquelin,[3][4] the title part in Catulle Mendès's La Reine Fiammette (1898),[5] Huguette in Famille (1901).

In 1911 she won a lawsuit against another Parisian actress calling herself "Yane", preventing the other woman from using a stage name that so closely resembled her own.

[1] An English magazine referred to Yahne as "a favourite in society, an expert with foils, a passionate horsewoman, and a terror of France on her automobile.

"[9] Léonie Yahne owned a property in Louveciennes, named Villa Fiammette after one of her best-known roles.
