She married M.Pasquier in 1855 and when a widow she first appeared as an actress at the Gymnase" in Paris in 1864.[3]
As an actress, Pasca received significant critical attention. The Gentleman's Magazine and Historical Review described her as the "queen, by right of self-culture, of the Salon."[4]
