Creating Havoc In Tandem


Was Juana Borguèse a pseudonym? We don't know, no where and when she was born.

Together with another mysterious and dangerous woman, Gaby (Cyprien Giles), Borguèse's Baronne 'creates havoc in tandem', as Vicki Calahan writes in Zones of Anxiety: Movement, Musidora, and the Crime Serials of Louis Feuillade.

Baronne d'Apremont is the accomplice of the evil Dr. Howey (Andrew Brunelle) in La nouvelle mission de Judex/The New Mission of Judex (Louis Feuillade, 1917-1918).

She has hypnotic powers - mark the eyes on the card - enabling her to force the innocent to do things against their will.

According to Cineressources, the site of the Cinémathèque française, she also played an uncredited part in the earlier film Judex (Louis Feuillade, 1916) in which Musidora played the scheming villain Diana Monti.

Who can tell us more about Juana Borguèse?
