Madge Titheradge, c. 1915

Madge Titheradge (2 July 1887 – 14 November 1961) was an Australian-born actress who became a leading actress in the West End of London and on Broadway.

She began as a child actress before the First World War, and went on to star in the 1920s and 1930s. Her range was unusually wide, including Shakespeare, pantomime, Ibsen, farce, drawing-room comedy and Ruritanian romance. Ill health forced her early retirement from the stage in 1938, and she lived in retirement until her death at her home in Surrey, aged 74.
