## Biography

Musidora, born Jeanne Roques, was a French actress, film director and writer. She made her film debut in 1913 or 1914 and took her professional name from a character in a novel by Théophile Gautier.

She became known for her performances in Louis Feuillade serials, playing Irma Vep in *The Vampires or, The Arch Criminals of Paris* (1915–1916) and Diana Monti in *Judex* (1917). Musidora later directed and produced films, including adaptations of novels by Colette, and wrote for the stage and in other forms. She died in 1957.
