About Florence (actor)

  • Nicolas-Joseph Billot de La Ferrière, stage-name Florence (4 March 1749, Léry - 25 June 1816, rue Traversière, Paris) was a French actor. He began his career in 1771 at the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels, and moved to Versailles in 1777 in Mme Montansier's company.
  • Also in 1777 he made his anonymous début at the Comédie-Française, but was only received into its company after a second on 7 May 1778.
  • He was admitted as a sociétaire in April 1779, and devoted the next 25 years to the Comédie-Française's interests, making them forget his lack of talent.
  • Imprisoned with several other actors during the Reign of Terror, he owed his safe release to La Bussière.
  • He retired in 1804 and died in 1816.
