Madge Railton, better known as Madge Hindle (born 19 May 1938 in Blackburn, Lancashire) is an English actress, best known for her roles in television series. ==Career== Hindle's big break came when her good friend, playwright Alan Bennett, asked her to appear in his 1966 BBC comedy series ''On the Margin''.〔(BBC - Comedy - Shows A-Z Index )〕 From 1968 to 1973, she played the role of Lily Tattersall on the series ''Nearest and Dearest''. When the series' director, Bill Podmore, took over as producer of ''Coronation Street'', he thought of her when he created the role of the feisty shopkeeper, Renee Bradshaw.〔(Profile on corrie.net )〕 Hindle joined the cast as Renee Bradshaw in 1976. In 1978, Renee was married to the character Alf Roberts (played by Bryan Mosley). However, in 1980, Renee was killed when her car was struck by a lorry. Hindle remains philosophical about her character's death in ''Coronation Street'', saying that if they had to write her out, at least they killed her, which meant she would never be tempted to return, thus risking typecasting. In 1972 she appeared on ''This Is Your Life'' as a guest for her ''Nearest and Dearest'' co-star, fellow Lancashire actress Hylda Baker. She has appeared in two of Alan Bennett's television plays: ''Sunset Across the Bay'' (1975) and ''Intensive Care'' (1982). She has worked in several productions with Ronnie Barker, playing the governor's secretary Mrs Hesketh in the BBC sitcom ''Porridge'' and also made two appearances in Barker's other sitcom ''Open All Hours''. She co-starred with Barker again in The Two Ronnies' 1982 almost-silent TV film ''By the Sea''. Most recently, Hindle had a recurring role alongside Gwen Taylor in the 1990s sitcom ''Barbara''.〔(Barbara (Summary/Cast) )〕 She played the role until 2003. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Madge Hindle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
