context_page_description: Elisabeth Félix, better known only as Mademoiselle Rachel, was a French actress.
  She became a prominent figure in French society, and was the mistress of, among others, Napoleon III, Napoléon Joseph Charles Paul Bonaparte and 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.
