Rose Perrine le Roy de la Corbinaye (December 10, 1730 â€" August 5,
1799) was a French actress, best known under the name of Madame
Bellecour.Le Roy was born at Lamballe as the daughter of an artillery
officer. Under the stage name of Beaumenard, le Roy made her first
Paris appearance in 1743 as Gogo in Charles Simon Favart's Le Coq du
village. After a year at the Opéra-Comique, she played in several
companies, including that of Marshal Saxe, who is said to have been
not insensible to her charms. In 1749, she made her debut at the
Comédie-Française as Dorine in Tartuffe, and her success was
immediate.Le Roy retired in 1756, but after an absence of five years,
during which she married Jean Claude Gilles Colson ("Bellecour"), she
reappeared as Madame Bellecour, and continued her successes in
soubrette parts in the plays of Molière and Jean-François Regnard.
She retired finally at the age of sixty, but troublous times had put
an end to the pension which she received from Louis XVI and from the
theatre, and she died in abject poverty. There is a charming portrait
of her owned by the Théâtre Français. Madame Bellecour Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
