Madge Tyrone

Born 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.
