Françoise-Nicole Gravillon, wife Hus, was an 18th-century French actress and playwright born 2 Octobre 1710 in Lyon.
In 1730, she married the troupe leader François Hus, the eldest of a family of comedians and dancers. She was the mother of at least five children, including Jean-Baptiste, and Adélaïde-Louise-Pauline who would perform at the Comédie-Française under the name Mlle Hus.
In 1751, the family company dispersed and Françoise Hus traveled to Paris to accompany the debut of her daughter at the Comédie-Française.
In September 1756, she had her only play, Plutus, rival de l'Amour, presented which was given four times at the Comédie-Italienne in Paris.
In 1762, Mme. Huss in turn began at the Comédie-Française, but she left after the second performance because of the audience severity. She probably died around 1780.
