Marie Duplessis (born Alphonsine Rose Plessis; 15 January 1824 – 3 February 1847[1]) was a French courtesan and mistress to a number of prominent and wealthy men.[2] She was the inspiration for Marguerite Gautier, the main character of the 1848 novel La Dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas the younger, one of Duplessis' lovers.[1] Much of what is known about her has been derived from the literary persona and contemporary legends.[3]
