Very little is known about Juana Borguèse who played the evil Baronne d'Apremont in La nouvelle mission de Judex (Louis Feuillade 1917-1918). Together with another mysterious and dangerous woman, Gaby (Cyprien Giles), she 'creates havoc in tandem', as Vicki Calahan writes in Zones of Anxiety: Movement, Musidora, and the Crime Serials of Louis Feuillade. The Baronne has hypnotic powers - mark the eyes on the card - enabling her to force the innocent to do things against their will. According to the site of the Cinémathèque française she also played an uncredited part in the earlier film Judex (Feuillade 1917) where Musidora played the scheming villain Diana Monti. Juana Borguèse might have been a pseudonym.
