Jeanne Quinault (baptized 13 October 1699 â€" 18 January 1783) was a
French actress, playwright and salon hostess.She was usually called
Mlle. Quinault la cadette (the younger) to distinguish her from her
older sister, Marie-Anne-Catherine Quinault, also an actress. She
herself thought her name was Jeanne-Françoise Quinault until 1726,
when she obtained a copy of her baptismal record and discovered her
legal name, but most references to her use the two given names.She
made her début at the Comédie-Française on 14 June 1718 and was
accepted into the company in December 1718, becoming the sixth member
of the Quinault family to be admitted. She gave her first performance
in the title role of Racine's Phèdre and five days later played
Chimène in Pierre Corneille's Le Cid. The choices are rather
surprising, because she became famous in soubrette and comic character
roles.[citation needed] Jeanne Quinault Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
