Madge Tyrone
Madge Tyrone was an American actress, film editor, and screenwriter active during Hollywood's silent era. BiographyBorn in New York,[1] Tyrone began her career as a stage actress, appearing in plays touring around the East Coast as early as 1911. Her first known credit was in a Broadway play from 1911 called The Wife Decides. She also worked as a newspaperwoman and magazine writer before beginning her career in Hollywood.[2] By 1914, she was living in Los Angeles, where she appeared in a number of Our Mutual Girl serials produced by Reliance Film Company. She'd appear in a few more films as an actress before taking up writing and editing. In 1920, Louis B. Mayer added her to First National's story department.[3][4] She worked with director Edwin Carewe on a number of projects—from Rio Grande to The Lady Who Lied—and was considered one of his proteges.[5][6] In 1922, she was involved in a bad car accident in Los Angeles; she made a full recovery after taking some time off.[7] Little is known about her life after 1925. Her half-sister was the writer Ursula Parrott. Selected filmographyAs a writer:
