Anna Judic

Anne Marie-Louise Damiens, stage name Anna Judic (18 July 1849, Semur-en-Auxois – 15 April 1911, Golfe-Juan) was a French comic actress.

After the Franco-Prussian War and a spell at the Gaîté, where she was the lead in Le Roi Carotte, an "opéra-féerie" by Jacques Offenbach and Victorien Sardou, she entered the Bouffes-Parisiens where she had her first successes as a comic actress in the operettas of Léon Vasseur (La Timbale d'argent) and Offenbach (Madame l'archiduc, La Créole, Bagatelle, etc.).

In 1872 she appeared in The Black Crook in a role written for her by Frederick Clay and Georges Jacobi and which ran for 310 performances.

After a failed production of La Cosaque, she began travelling, appearing at the Menus-Plaisirs, the Eldorado and the Alcazar d'Été but never regaining the immense success of her debut roles.

She appeared with Sarah Bernhardt in La Belle au Bois Dormant (Sleeping Beauty) to strong notices, in 1908.
