Marie Madeleine de Montaigu (née Le Croix) (1692â€"1736) was a Danish

actor. She was employed first as a court-actor, and later became one

of the first female actors to perform on a Public theatre in

Denmark.Marie le Croix was born in Denmark as the child of parents of

French origin. In 1715, she married Rene Magnon de Montaigu

(1661â€"1737), the director of La troupe du Roi de Danemark, the

French troupe that performed for the royal court, and the year after,

she became a member of the trope and employed as court-actor.In 1721,

the French troupe, which had performed for the royal court in

Copenhagen since 1682, fired by the king, who wished to hire an

Italian Opera-trope instead. The French actors, who in many cases had

lived there for generations, did not all wish to leave Denmark. Rene

Magnon and another French immigrant, Etienne Capion, then asked

permission to open a Public theatre. They were given royal permission

and in 1722, the first Public theatre was opened in Copenhagen on

Lille Grönnegade, the first theatre open to the public in the Danish

language.Capion was the director, Magnon was responsible for the

actors, and Marie Madeleine became the first actress to have performed

for the Danish Public on an official theatre. The female actors were

few; among them were also Helene le Coffre, Maren Magdalene Lerche and

Marie Madeleines own dotter Frederikke Sophie.
