Madeleine Orr
Madeleine Grace Orr (1914 – 29 June 1979) was an Australian-born film, stage and TV actress who worked for many years in London. She is best known as the first person to portray Madge Allsop, bridesmaid and companion to Barry Humphries' most popular and enduring comic character, Dame Edna Everage.
==Early life==
Born in West Melbourne in 1914, Madeleine Grace Orr was the daughter of Charles Hugh Orr (1883–1932) and his wife Madeleine, ''nee'' Walsh, (1888–1961). Charles Orr was a caterer and hotelkeeper by profession, and he and his wife ran a succession of inner city hotels in the early twentieth century including the City Court Hotel and Tattersall's Hotel, both in Russell Street, Melbourne. After Charles' death in 1932, his widow continued as licensee of the latter hotel for some years thence.
During the 1930s, Charles and Madeleine's like-named daughter maintained a high profile in Melbourne's social circles, with her name often recorded in the women's column of the daily newspapers as a guest at parties, balls and dances. The younger Madeleine Orr was reported present, for example, at a 1934 junior auxiliary dance for the District Nurses' Society,〔"Junior Auxiliary Dance", 21 August 1935, p 17.〕 a 1935 charity ball aboard the troopship ''Duntroon''〔"Duntroon Ball for two charities", ''The Argus'', 15 October 1935, p 4.〕 and a 1937 German-themed beer garden party.〔"Beer garden setting for Party", ''The Argus'', 29 January 1937, p 3.〕 Such connections inevitably gained her ''entree'' into Melbourne's theatrical community. In 1935, Orr was noted as one of several young women who sold programmes and sweets at a special fundraising performance that was held at Her Majesty's Theatre.〔"Matinee for Mr Wenman", ''The Argus'', 4 September 1935, p17.〕
