I was born on the 8th of September 1900 in London. At 16, I married an Australian Serviceman. I followed my husband to Australia in 1920. I was a brothel madam and organised crime entrepreneur in Australia. I was quite wealthy though I had earned it from committing crime. My husband was an alcoholic. My marriage was marred by domestic violence. I got married for a second time on the 19th of May 1945 to an ex-seaman. I shot my husband in the leg after an argument. A number of murders were committed at my residence. I was charged a fine of more than £20,000 ($38463.96) in unpaid income tax. This made me close to bankrupt. In 1953, I said in the media, "I am a lucky, lucky girl, I have more diamonds than the Queen of England’s stowaways-and better ones too!" I sold off my last brothel in Palmer Street, Darlinghurst in 1968. I died in 1970 of Cancer. I am famous for flamboyant acts of generosity, and also my violent feud with criminal vice rival Kate Leigh. I am known as a Sydney crime syndicate gang’s member figure. I was born Matilda Mary Twiss. My first name begins with T. My second name starts with D. Who am I?
