Ana Maria Palhota da Silva Pais, better known as Annie Silva Pais (1935 – 1990), was the daughter of the last director of PIDE, the secret police of the authoritarian, right-wing Estado Novo government of Portugal. Moving to Cuba to be with her diplomat husband, she became very close to the revolutionary government under Fidel Castro, eventually leaving her husband. Her story has been the subject of several books, a play and a television series.[1][2]
