Louise-Françoise Contat (16 June 1760 â€" 9 March 1813) was a French
actress.She was born in Paris and made her debut at the Comédie
Française in 1766 as Atalide in Bajazet. It was in comedy, however,
that she made her first success, as Suzanne in Beaumarchais's Mariage
de Figaro; and in several minor character parts, which she raised to
the first importance, and as the soubrette in the plays of Molière
and Pierre de Marivaux, she found opportunities exactly fitted to her
talents.By Louis Marie Jacques Amalric, comte de Narbonne-Lara (17, 23
or 24 August 1755 - 17 November 1813), soldier and diplomat, she had
one daughter Louise Amalrique Bathilde Isidore Contat de
Narbonne-Lara, born at Saint Pierre de Chaillot, Paris, on 21
September 1788, who married in Paris on 2 December 1811 Dutch Jan
Frederik Abbema, born in Amsterdam on 13 June 1773, and had one son
Émile, vicomte d' Abbéma, who had an only daughter by his wife
Henriette Anne d' Astoin named Louise Abbéma (Étampes, 30 October
1853 - Paris, 4 August 1927).Bouillet writes of her "She played comedy
to perfection and made people remark on the flexibility of her talent,
succeeding equally as grandes coquettes and as soubrettes". She was
part of the success of the plays of Marivaux and Beaumarchais. She
left the theatre in 1808, and in 1809 married de Parny, nephew of the
poet Évariste de Parny. Louise Contat Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
