She wore a simple, white satin Grecian robe; not a heavily elaborated gown as was usual back then — nor did she wear a heavy headdress, and her acting style was devoid of the typical artificial gestures of that time's declamatory style.

In 1718 she played Aristie in Corneille's "Sertorius" and Atalide in "Bajazet".

Lacombe was born in the provincial town of Pamiers in southwestern France. She became an actress at a young age and appeared in theatrical productions in the provinces before arriving in Paris in 1792. She was not an outstanding success in the theater, and she was not entirely happy with her life. The acting company that Lacombe worked for moved from town to town and sometimes went to castles and the country houses of aristocrats.
