Musidora, 1915
Jeanne Roques (23 February 1889 – 11 December 1957), known professionally as Musidora, was a French actress, film director, screenwriter, playwright and novelist. A major figure of French silent cinema, she became internationally known for portraying Irma Vep in Louis Feuillade's serial Les Vampires (1915–1916), and Diana Monti in Judex (1917).
Musidora was one of the earliest "vamps" in cinema, and was later embraced by surrealist writers and filmmakers as a cultural icon. She was one of the first women to direct films, also screenwriting and producing several features in the 1910s and 1920s.
