Madeleine Lemeine

In 1644 it was noted that she was “separee de biens avec lui”, that is legally separated.

She was engaged in the Grands Comediens (Comédiens du Roi) at the Hôtel de Bourgogne, which was opened in 1628.

The repertoire of the theatre are documented and clearly show that roles for women are provided for in the plays, but it is not confirmed which actor played which role.

They are known to have played the two major roles as the wives of Gaultier and Boniface in the farce La Comedie des comediens by Gougenot.

According to Tallemant, Mlle Beaupre performed at the Théâtre du Marais when she came in to conflict with a young actress: She was apparently wealthy, as she is noted to have loaned 10,333 livres, 8 sous to the owners of the Marais in 1647.
