Grande Dame

The Grande Dame is an unnamed character in the 1998 film Ever After: A Cinderella Story. She is the great-great-granddaughter of Danielle de Barbarac and Prince Henry of France, and still lives in the royal palace. She is portrayed by Jeanne Moreau.

Biography
When the Grimm Brothers' fairy-tales are published, the Grande Dame reads them. She is disturbed by the inaccurate version of The Little Cinder Girl and therefore invites the Grimm brothers to a chat at her palace. After a small conversation, she takes out Danielle de Barbarac's 'glass' slipper and tells the 'true' story of the little Cinder Girl to the Grimm brothers.

Trivia

 * It is possible that the Grande Dame is Marie Therese (see TV Tropes in "References").
