Madge Tyrone

Madge Tyrone was an American actress, film editor, and screenwriter active during Hollywood's silent era.

Biography
Born in New York, 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.

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. 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.

In 1922, she was involved in a bad car accident in Los Angeles; she made a full recovery after taking some time off.

Little is known about her life after 1925.

Her half-sister was the writer Ursula Parrott.
