Maudi Darrell

Maudi Darrell (born Maud Rhoda Didcott, 10 February 1882 – 31 October 1910) was an English actress on the London and New York stages, and a performer in vaudeville.

Her father was a theatrical agent, and her mother was a dancer who had a novelty act involving singing while skipping rope.

[1][2] Her father was Jewish, but Maudi Didcott was educated at the Sion House Convent at Bayswater.

[4][5] Maudi Darrell appeared in popular musicals and comedies, including The Beauty of Bath (1906),[6] Mrs. Ponderbury's Past (1907),[7] The Cassilis Engagement (1907),[8] The Gay Gordons (1908), and The Belle of Brittany (1908).

"[11] She had a valuable collection of diamonds, and the "Maharaja of Kuch Behar" (Sir Nripendra Narayan) presented Miss Darrell with "the finest emerald in England", in admiration for her beauty.
