Anne Charleston (born 30 December 1942 in Melbourne) is an Australian actress currently based in Galway, Ireland and the UK. She is known for her roles as Madge Bishop in the Australian soap opera ''Neighbours'' and Lily Butterfield in ''Emmerdale''. ==Early career== Anne Charleston first became widely recognisable in Australia in the early 1970s on television, taking various guest roles in the Crawford Productions police dramas ''Homicide'', ''Division 4'' and ''Matlock Police''. Other appearances included guest roles in other Crawford's adventure series ''Hunter'' (1967) and ''Ryan'' (1973), and in Network Ten-produced police drama ''The Long Arm'' (1971). She had continuing roles in soap operas ''Bellbird'' and ''Class of '75'', and appeared in ''Number 96'' as a deranged woman who kidnapped Alf and Lucy's baby in late 1975. She had also appeared in the feature film version of ''Bellbird'', ''Country Town'' (1971), playing a different character from that which she had played in the series. In the late 1970s and the 1980s she had several small roles in soap opera ''Prisoner''. Having briefly played the brusque daughter of released prisoner "Mum" Brooks in 1979, Charleston returned for several appearances in the serial as policewomen through the early 1980s before taking the larger recurring role of Deidre Kean, mother of prison toughie Reb Kean (Janet Andrewartha), in 1984. In 1985 she took a leading regular role in new soap opera ''Possession''; however, the series was cancelled by the network later that same year due to lower than desired ratings. Charleston had also enjoyed a busy career acting in the Australian theatre. With St. Martin's Theatre she acted in ''Wrong Side of the Park'', ''The Irregular Verb'', ''To Love'', ''Angels in Love'', ''A Far Country'', ''The Anniversary'', ''Invitation to a March'', ''Eden House'', ''The Cavern'', ''Have you Any Dirty Washing Mother Dear'', ''Blithe Spirit'' and ''Children's Day''.〔Atterton, Margot.
