*From Wikipedia...

"Colette went to work in the music halls of Paris, under the wing of Mathilde de Morny, Marquise de Belbeuf, known as Missy, with whom she became romantically involved.  In 1907, the two women performed together in a pantomime entitled Rêve d'Égypte at the Moulin Rouge.  Their onstage kiss nearly caused a riot, which the police were called in to suppress.  As a result of this scandal, further performances . . . were banned, and Colette and de Morny were no longer able to live together openly, though their relationship continued for five years."
