Isabella Mercia McDonagh (3 January 1899 – 5 March 1982), also known as Marie Lorraine, was an Australian actress who often worked in collaboration with her sisters Paulette and Phyllis.[1][2] Isabella, alongside her two sisters made history by owning and running a film production company, therefore becoming the first Australian women to do so.[3]
She visited Hollywood in 1933 but did not elect to stay on and make a career there.[4]
