Of the six children in the family, Pauline Bonaparte was the youngest, and was said to be Napoleon's favorite sister. She was married twice and was known for her numerous extramarital affairs, including an affair with the violinist Niccolò Paganini. Upon Napoleon's fall, Pauline liquidated all of her assets and moved to Elba, using that money to better Napoleon's condition. She was the only Bonaparte sibling to visit her brother during his exile on Elba. She stayed married to her Italian Prince Borghese until her death in 1825 at age 44 of pulmonary tuberculosis. Her brother Napoleon preceded her four years in death in 1821 at age 51.
Gladys Holland plays Pauline Bonaparte in the Haitian-located action film directed by Jean Negulesco.
