Clémentine Clatteaux Delait (March 5, 1865 - Apri 5, 1939) was a French bearded lady. Her facial hair began growing while she was a teenager. In 1885, she married a local baker, changed her name to Delait and opened a café and bakery in the village of Taon-les-Vosges. Until that point Clementine had shaved off her beard every day, but while working at the café she made a bet with a customer to let it grow.
