Background

MacQuarrie was the daughter of actors Barry Morse and Sydney Sturgess and sister of Hayward Morse. She was born in London, England, but lived in Canada from the age of six. She earned the nickname "Big Mel," having made several newspaper headlines in London as one of the largest babies born in the United Kingdom, at 11 pounds, 9 ounces.

Career

She worked professionally as a child actor and later as an adult, when she was sometimes billed by her married name Melanie Morse MacQuarrie. She received a scholarship at the age of 19 to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London.

Her film work includes roles in Prom Night with Jamie Lee Curtis and Leslie Nielsen, as well as Murder by Phone with Richard Chamberlain. On-stage she performed in such diverse venues as stages in Boston, Massachusetts and the Stratford Festival of Canada, in productions including Peter Pan and Much Ado About Nothing. Her TV appearances include Noises in the Nursery, Drought, and the popular Canadian television series Street Legal.

Death

She died in Montague, Prince Edward Island from a heart attack.
