Lia Félix (6 July 1830, Saumur - 15 January 1908, Paris) was a French
actress.She was the fifth of six children of Jacques Félix and Esther
Thérèse Hayer, all of whom became actors, and a 9-year younger
sister and pupil of the great Rachel Félix. She had hardly been given
any trial when, by chance, she was called on to create the leading
woman's part in Lamartine's Toussaint Louverture at the Théâtre de
la Porte Saint-Martin on 6 April 1848. The play did not make a hit,
but the young actress was favorably noticed, and several important
parts were immediately entrusted to her. She soon came to be
recognized as one of the best comedians in Paris. Rachel took Lia to
United States with her to play second parts, and on returning to Paris
she played at several of the principal theatres, although her health
compelled her to retire for several years. When she reappeared at the
Théâtre de la Gaîté in the title role of Jules Barbier's Jeanne
d'Arc she had an enormous success. Her last theatrical appearance was
in Victorien Sardou's La Haine in 1874. She died in Paris on January
15 1908. Lia FÃ(c)lix Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
