biography

She was born as Anne-Marie Marcelle Bastien . She first learned the trade of a milliner . Then at the age of 16 she went to the stage. In Paris she first appeared in the Théâtre des Batignolles and from 1885 was engaged in the Théâtre Michel in Saint Petersburg . In 1889 she returned to Paris and made a name for herself in the next few years, primarily through appearances at the Théâtre des Variétés , Théâtre du Gymnase Marie Bell and Théâtre du Palais-Royal . There she played in plays by renowned playwrights such as Robert de Flers , Oscar Méténier , Alfred Capus , Léon Gandillot and Ernest Blum .

She was extremely famous at the time. Illustrated stage scenes by caricaturists Edward Ancourt and Yves Marevéry, with her as the main protagonist , appeared regularly in the press . Her appearances were regularly announced in many newspapers and journals. The press in the colony of Algeria also reported on their appearances. Like other artists, Toulouse-Lautrec was enthusiastic about her and painted her several times. The best known picture shows Lenders with flame red hair, dancing bolero in the play Chilperic . The painter Gabriel Martin dedicated the poem Les Hanches to her . and the actor Frédérick Lemaître admired them so much that he put together an extensive collection of newspaper clippings, postcards and even individual book pages. Finally, she also acted as a mannequin for fashion magazines.

She always played one of the leading roles in twenty-six productions. She gave her last stage performance in 1917. Lender died at the age of 64 as a result of a cerebral haemorrhage.
