The elderly English actress who played Dame Edna Everage's sidekick Madge Allsop has died.
The Sun newspaper said Emily Perry died aged 100. No other details were available.
Perry began playing the sour-faced Madge, a New Zealander from Palmerston North, when she was 80.
Madge, Edna's elderly "bridesmaid", began appearing alongside Barry Humphries' famous housewife and "gigastar" in 1987.
She never spoke and was often the butt of Edna's witty putdowns.
She played Madge in Dame Edna's Hollywood, Dame Edna's Neighbourhood Watch, The Dame Edna Experience and The Dame Edna Satellite Experience.
