Biography

Born Melanie Weston, West began performing in front of family and friends at an early age. In 1992, she entered the New South Wales Talented Child Drama Ensemble, and, after commencing a university degree in Law, West deferred her studies indefinitely to turn to acting. In 1999 West was awarded the 'Be Your Best' Performance Scholarship from the Australian Drug Foundation. While Neighbours is her first full time television role, Madeleine's amateur theatre credits include Arsenic and Old Lace, Night Reflections, Theatre in the Raw, Bye Bye Birdie, and Snow Queen. She has been performing standup comedy since 2002.

In June 2002, Madeleine was in Sydney for a public appearance as part of a Kids Helpline fundraiser, when she was hit by a bus, which mounted the pavement as she waited to cross Oxford Street. Madeleine had to be written out of Neighbours for a month whilst she underwent plastic surgery to cover scars on her face and monitoring for bleeding on her brain.

A year after the accident, Madeleine filmed her final scenes for the show, which saw Dione disappearing after her car crashed into the ocean on her wedding day.¹

She is currently in a relationship with top Melbourne chef Shannon Bennett and has one daughter, Phoenix, born in December 2005 and one son, Hendrix, born early April 2008.
