Anna Mouglalis (born April 26, 1978 in Fréjus ) is a French actress and photo model .

Her father is an acupuncturist and the son of a Greek immigrant, her mother a Breton masseuse. Anna grew up in Nantes , practiced diving and left her family at the age of 16 to study in Paris . She turned to the theater to, was first assistant director at the Théâtre Rive Gauche and played in the play Spring Awakening by Frank Wedekind . She then studied acting at the Paris Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique until 2001 , where Daniel Mesguich was one of her teachers.

From 1998 she took on film roles , but stayed on the stage. She owed greater fame to her appearance in Claude Chabrol's detective farce Chabrol's sweet poison from 2000. In this role, she was noticed by fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld , who hired her as a model in the advertising campaign for his perfume Allure . This made her ambassador for the House of Chanel . Mouglalis outraged about Sofia Coppola's film Marie Antoinette , because in it the wealth is celebrated. While looking at it, she thought to herself: “The revolutionaries were right, their heads should be chopped off.” She advocated more equality for women and rejected roles of mistresses and whores because she did not want to promote such an image of women - “Actors being is also a political act. ”She explained that what she admires about Lagerfeld's fashion is that it does not turn women into objects of desire. Rather, he creates clothes for "modern Amazons."

While Le Monde called Anna Mouglalis the “most beautiful discovery of French cinema in a long time”, Le Figaro described her as the most mature and mysterious of the country's young actresses. Also Positif spoke of a "mysterious presence". In addition to some roles in Greek and Italian films, Mouglalis played historical figures in biographical films in France , such as the fashion designer Coco Chanel in Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky (2009) and the singer Juliette Gréco in Gainsbourg - The Man Who Loved Women (2010) . She was in a relationship with the film director Samuel Benchetrit , in whose crime comedy J'ai toujours rêvé d'être un gangster she starred in 2007. In the same year, the couple's daughter was born.
