Jeanne Hovine was a Belgian commedienne, who is best known under her stage name Anne-Marie Ferrières. Although she devoted her entire life to theatre, she made her debut in the comics field. Together with her sister Laure Stengers Hovine, she created the characters of 'Nic et Nac'. This series of illustrated tales, written by Laure and drawn by Jeanne, appeared in Le Soir from 1924 to 1934. Afterwards, she became a famous actrice in the Brussels scene, playing alongside Jules Berry, Berthe Bovy, Fernand Ledoux and Madeleine Renaud.
