Madeleine is an actor, comedian and writer residing in Los Angeles. She grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, Fairfield Connecticut, and Richmond Virginia. She does not know where she is from.

Her debut performance took place in her living room at age two dancing and singing alongside Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. Her breakout role was in preschool where she insisted on playing Ursula in her class’s rendition of The Little Mermaid (the whole production was her idea). In later school plays, she portrayed men and ladies four times her age. She received her first fan letter in the eleventh grade for playing Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest.

To survive middle school, she attended improv classes and sketch comedy camps at Second City in Chicago. Like all the cool teenagers, she attended the American Shakespeare Center Theater Camp for four summers growing up. She studied abroad at the London Dramatic Academy, an acting conservatory, and graduated from Bennington College with a degree in theater and literature.

Her branding statement is as follows: I am an actress who is a young Katie Holmes. In other words, I am a young, cute, wholesome, Midwestern girl with a bit of quirkiness who can play a babysitter, intern, nurse or a young teacher and has the essence of a daughter, student, best friend, or a roommate.

Madeleine began referring to herself in the third person at two years old and sees no reason to stop now. She thanks you for visiting her website.
