Élisabeth Félix (21 February 1821 – 3 January 1858), better known only as
Mademoiselle or Madame Rachel or simply
Rachel, was a French actress. She became a prominent figure in French society, and was the mistress of, among others,
Napoleon III and
Prince Napoléon, both nephews of
Napoleon I, and of
Alexandre Colonna-Walewski, the illegitimate son of Napoleon I. Efforts by newspapers to publish pictures of her on her deathbed led to the introduction of
privacy rights into French law.
