Eugenie Marian Duggan[1] (1872 – 2 November 1936) was a popular Australian stage actress. She was the sister of the actors Edmund, P.J. and Kathleen Duggan. She began studying acting, won a number of elocution competitions and made her professional debut in 1890 in Romeo and Juliet.[2]

She joined the company of theatre entrepreneur William Anderson, and later married him. She played a wide range of roles throughout Australia and New Zealand, including the title part in the original 1907 production of The Squatter's Daughter. In 1910 she played Princess Monica in The Prince and the Beggar Maid in a tour of Australia. In 1911 she appeared in the short film of The Christian as Glory Quayle.[3] In 1920 she toured with her own company, the Eugenie Duggan Company.
