Dame Edna's sidekick Madge dies

Emily Perry who played Madge Allsop for 20 years has died aged 100 years.

I thought it deserved a thread of it's own as she never said a word but she was damn funny with her facial expressions.

Hear, hear. Haven't seen any footage of her for years, but can picture her expression as she sat at the piano, and it still makes me smile.

She was hilarious.

Yea that surprised me as well.

For some reason I always thought they made her up to look older than she really was but obviously not.

Sexy! :)

She was a good sport, RIP.

100! What a fantastic age.
She was residing in the same Richmond Upon Thames care home as the actor Richard O’Sullivan (mentioned recently in another thread). Alan Freeman (the DJ) also lived there for a while before he died. Must be a bizarre place, a ‘real’ Stella Street.

Amazingly, she was 87 when she first started working and touring with Barry Humphries.

So she was the second one I think. The first one always looked reeeaaalllyy miserable.

Anyway RIP.

Aw! Bless her!
