Marie Delaporte

Marie Delaporte (27 September 1838 – 1910) was a French actress who played for many years in Paris and Saint Petersburg.

[3] She was intelligent, cheerful and sentimental, and performed for 13 years at this theatre, with a piquant naivety, grace and decency.

She played in works by George Sand, Eugène Scribe, Alexandre Dumas fils, Octave Feuillet, Victorien Sardou and Théodore Barrière throughout the Second French Empire.

[5] There is a story that at one time Madame Pasca was to play Mathilde in the Supplice d'une femme, but she was sick and unable to appear.

After another year in Russia she returned to star at the boulevard Bonne-Nouvelle on 25 August 1875 in a reprise of Froufrou, a role that was originally created for Mme Desclée.

[7] Her last appearances seem to have been at the Vaudeville from 23-30 December 1877 in Une Séparation and on 1 March 1878 in the Bourgeois de Pont-Arcy.
