Anaïs Fargueil (21 March 1819[1] – 8 April 1896[2]) was a 19th-century French actress.
Biography
Anaïs Fargueil was the daughter of Paul Fargueil, a Toulouse actor that made her start on stage from the age of four. In 1825, she followed her parents to Paris and entered the French National Academy of Dramatic Arts in the classes of Antoine Ponchard and Auguste Mathieu Panseron. She won first prize for singing. Committed to the Opéra-Comique, she made her debut in La Marquise by Adolphe Adam. She abandoned the opera for the theater and began at the Théâtre du Vaudeville in 1836. She left it for the Théâtre du Gymnase and toured the province and abroad. She returned to the Théâtre du Vaudeville in 1850 and retired in 1883.
She is buried at Montmartre Cemetery. Her father died on 14 December 1869 in the 9th arrondissement of Paris.[3] Her daughter, Marguerite Le Rousseau-Fargueil, is buried on 24 April 1911[4] at Montmartre cemetery in the family vault.
