Madge Titheradge

Madge Titheradge (2 July 1887 – 14 November 1961) was an actress, born into a theatrical family in Melbourne, Australia.

Biography

Her father was the English-born actor George Sutton Titheradge, and the eleven-year-old Madge had already done stage work with Australia's Brough-Boucicault and Bland Holt companies when the family returned to Britain in 1898. She made her London stage debut at fifteen, and soon became a popular actress and beauty, her photograph adorning many a postcard and cigarette card. After touring Canada and the United States in stage productions she made her screen debut in the 1916's British film "A Fair Impostor", and later the same year went to Hollywood to star in "Brigadier Gerard". Her subsequent Hollywood films were 1920's "Her Story" and the early co-production "David and Jonathan", a British funded film shot in a Hollywood studio.
