Possibly Madame du Barry, whose deeply-distressed last moments on the guillotine are thought to have helped convince the French populace that maybe executing aristocrats wasn't such fun after all. She said, "Excuse me, Monsieur Executioner, just a little moment, please." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madame_du_Barry Jun 07 05, 7:31 PM

Nice One! Yep ol' Louis had a string of babes happening and she was the one I had in mind. Can you tell me what was His Majesty's favourite dish which was named after her? Jun 07 05, 7:40 PM

Well, it could be cauliflower with cheese sauce, or a cauliflower soup. Not my favorite vegetable, but The Maven loves it. http://web.foodnetwork.com/food/web/encyclopedia/termdetail/0,7770,2211,00.html Jun 07 05, 7:49 PM

Oh she was fond of the cauliflower, yes. It was 'Du Barry Cream Soup' that he favoured. To me a cauliflower should be dressed up a bit with some sort of, um, taste. Surprisingly alot of people seem to like boiled to death mush. ;) Jun 07 05, 7:56 PM

She credits her famous author husband and her own innate stubbornness with her recovery, after which she went back to acting in numerous films and guest-starring in several television series. Who is she? Conceived, according to her own propaganda, via interesting rhinal means, this individual may have been the first of her sex to use a certain grand title.
