Juliette Drouet
May 11, 1883: French actress and longtime love of Victor Hugo, Juliette Drouet died at age seventy-seven in Paris. Born in Fougères, Brittany, she started an acting career in 1829, initially in Brussels, then in Paris. She met Victor Hugo in 1833 and soon abandoned her career for her lover, becoming his secretary and travelling companion. In 1852, she accompanied him in his exile on Jersey, and then in 1855 on Guernsey. She wrote thousands of letters to him throughout her life, and every year until her death, they celebrated the anniversary of the first night they had spent together.
