What is the name of the actress who played Midge in 'Vertigo'?

Barbara Bel Geddes played Midge in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 film Vertigo.

Midge’s full name is Marjorie Wood, and she is Scottie Ferguson’s former fiancée and close friend. She provides a grounded contrast to the film’s mysterious, psychologically unstable relationships, although Scottie does not return her romantic feelings.

Bel Geddes was already an established stage and screen performer when she made Vertigo. Her performance is often remembered for Midge’s witty, practical personality and for the striking portrait she paints of Carlotta Valdes, which becomes part of the film’s visual and psychological mystery.

A common mix-up is confusing Midge’s actor with the film’s female leads. Kim Novak plays Madeleine Elster and Judy Barton, while Eva Marie Saint appeared in North by Northwest, not Vertigo. James Stewart plays Scottie, the male protagonist whose acrophobia drives the story.
