== Entry by [[Aurore Evain]], 2003 ==

Of low birth, daughter of Dédiet le Vairier, Mme de Latour, aged eighteen, interpreted the role of Catherine of Siena in the play dedicated to the saint and staged at Metz in 1468. Catherine de Baudoiche, who commissioned and organised this performance, chose a young girl for the part of the saint at a time when female roles were more usually played by young boys. Mme de Latour's interpretation was praised and remarked upon by witnesses. Henri de Latour, a gentleman from Metz who was present in the audience, married the young actress who thus became the first actress to use the theatrical stage and her artistic talents to cross class barriers.

- "Cette jeune fillette, âgée de dix-huit ans, dit le chroniqueur, fit merveilleusement bien son devoir, au gré et plaisir d'un chacun; toutefois avait-elle vingt-trois cents vers de personnage, et néanmoins elle les savait tous sur le bout du doigt; et parla cette fille si vivement et piteusement, qu'elle provoqua plusieurs personnes à pleurer, et était agréable à toutes gens [...] fut cette fille richement mariée à un gentilhomme de Metz, appelé Henri de Latour, qui d'elle s'énamoura par le grand plaisir qu'il y prit." (un chroniqueur de Metz sur son jeu, cité par Petit de Julleville, Le Théâtre en France, Paris, Libraire Armand Colin, 1939, p.33-34).
