	GRANDES HORIZONTALES, by Virginia Rounding
		The youthful Marie Duplessis, for example, died in her early twenties surrounded by all the fine jewels, clothes and furnishings of an affluent member of an haute bourgeoisie.
		Marie, who died young of consumption, was known to be pious, had a reputation for good works and often gave away money and clothes.
		Duplessis was slim and adolescent, Pearl was unfemininely athletic and La Païva was not even pretty: she had a big nose, a grim little mouth and a frumpy hairdo.

		Marie Duplessis, born Alphonsine Plessis, a Norman peasant became one of the most notorious courtesans of Paris in the early 1840's.
		One of her lovers was the young Alexandre Dumas, but the affair only lasted eleven months and on February 3, 1847, Marie died of consumption at the age of 24.
		Maybe it was the fact that the life of Marie Duplessis and her circumstances struck a loud resounding chord in Verdi's heart and expressed guilt and love similar to that which he was feeling in his illicit liaison with Giuseppina Strepponi.

	The Fordwych Castle Mystery by Baroness Orczy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Thus it was that Miss Henriette Marie Duplessis came, with her father's consent, to live with her aunt at Fordwych Castle.
		Miss Henriette Duplessis d'Alboukirk has inherited from her French father dark eyes and hair and a somewhat swarthy complexion, but no doubt it is from her English ancestry that she has derived a somewhat masculine frame and a very great fondness for all outdoor pursuits.
		It appears that Captain Duplessis had recently died in Pondicherry, and that the young girl then wrote to her aunt, Lady d'Alboukirk, claiming her help and protection, which the old lady naturally considered it her duty to extend to her.

		The real Duplessis (born Alphonsine Plessis) may have dazzled Paris for a few years, but her life was nasty, brutish and short.
		Reputedly sold into prostitution by her father in her early teenage years, she had made her way to Paris by the time she was 15 and reinvented herself as a well-paid courtesan.

	James Marvel, Stage Director
		Rather than drawing on existing interpretations of this popular opera, Marvel turns to the life of Marie Duplessis, the real woman on whom the character of Violetta is based, to shape his conception of the piece.
		Duplessis, a renowned courtesan who had liasons with writer Alexandre Dumas the younger and composer Franz Liszt, died of tuberculosis at age 23 and devoted her last years to making her heart pure.
		Dumas' novel "La Dame aux Camelias," a fictionalized account of his affair with Duplessis, was the basis of both his subsequent play and Verdi's opera.

		On February 5 1847, the prostitute known as Marie Duplessis, once queen of the Parisian demi-monde and arguably one of the modern world's first celebrities, died of tuberculosis.
		Within the year it emerged, fully formed, in the novel La Dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas the younger, the illegitimate son of the author of The Three Musketeers.
		It must have seemed like a canny move for the former Normandy peasant girl, but it meant Marie was no longer mistress of her time, her body or even her heart.

	Camille, a CurtainUp DC Review
		The novel is a somewhat autobiographical account of the affair of the young M. Dumas and Marie Duplessis, a young courtesan with whom the writer became romantically involved when he lived on his father's estate in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
		Marie Duplessis had been a poor country girl who worked her way into French society by being a mistress to a series of wealthy and powerful men.
		And like Marguerite Gautier's belongings in Camille, Marie Duplessis' belongings were auctioned off after her death and drew a great deal of interest from curiosity seekers.
