Madge Evans

Madge Evans

Born 1909 (d.1981), Madge appeared in 96 films from 1916 to 1956. She was featured in print ads as the "Fairy Soap girl" as an infant. Working for MGM for in the 1930s, she appeared in Dinner at Eight (1933) and David Copperfield (1935) and impersonated the sweet young woman in many movies. Her husband Sidney Kingsley, a playwright, is best known for his plays, later turned into popular films Dead End and Detective Story. She was also photographed by the famous Hollywood photographer Hurrell. In those images she is more sultry than seen here, this image being more the (very pretty) girl next door.
