Maria Annina Laganà Pappacena, best known as Anna Fougez (9 July 1894 – 11 September 1966), was an Italian actress and singer.

[1][2] Reasons for her ensuring success include her ability in choosing her repertoire and adapting it to her figure, her peculiar beauty, more elegant and very different from the other actresses of her time, her ability to readily interact with the audience, and her particular costumes, which she mostly drew by herself, and which influenced the Italian fashion of the time.

[2] Between the second half of the 1910s and the early 1920s Fougez starred in a number of silent films of good success.

In 1928, together with her second husband, the French dancer René Thano, she started her own revue company, "Grande rivista italiana".

In 1931, she wrote her memoirs, Il mondo parla ed io passo (i.e. "The world speaks and I pass").
