Éthélie Madeleine Brohan (1833–1900) was a French actress. The second daughter of the actress Augustine Susanne Brohan, like her sister, she also took first prize for comedy at the Conservatoire (1850). She was engaged at once by the Comédie-Française, but instead of making her début in some play of the repertoire of the theatre, the management put on for her benefit a new comedy by Eugène Scribe and Ernest Legouvé, Les Contes de la reine de Navarre, in which she created the part of Marguerite on September 1, 1850. Her talents and beauty made her a success from the first, and in less than two years from her début she was elected sociétaire. In 1853 she married Mario Uchard, from whom she was soon separated, and in 1858 she returned to the Comédie Française in leading parts, until her retirement in 1886.
