Irene Worth, CBE (June 23, 1916 – March 9, 2002) was an American stage and screen actress who became one of the leading stars of the English and American theatre. (She pronounced her given name with three syllables: "I-REE-nee".)
Harriet Elizabeth Abrams was born in Fairbury, Nebraska to a Mennonite family. Her parents, Agnes Thiessen and Henry Abrams, were educators. They moved from Nebraska to California in 1920. She was educated at Newport Harbor High School, Newport Beach, California, Santa Ana Junior College, Santa Ana, California and UCLA.
She joined the Old Vic company in 1951, worked with Tyrone Guthrie and there played Desdemona, Helena in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Portia in The Merchant of Venice and her first Lady Macbeth. The company went off to South Africa with Worth as one of the leading ladies.
In 1953, she joined the fledgling Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario for its inaugural season. There she was the principal leading lady, performing under an enormous tent with Alec Guinness in All's Well That Ends Well and Richard III. "Binkie" Beaumont brought her back to London in N. C. Hunter's "Chekhovian" drama, A Day by the Sea, with a cast that included John Gielgud and Ralph Richardson. She joined the Midland Theatre Company in Coventry for Ugo Betti's The Queen and the Rebels. Her transformation from "a rejected slut cowering at her lover's feet into a redemption of regal poise" ensured a transfer to London, where Kenneth Tynan wrote of her technique: "It is grandiose, heartfelt, marvellously controlled, clear as crystal and totally unmoving."
Irene Worth wins the 1991 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play for her performance as Grandma Kurnitz in Lost in Yonkers.

April 20, 2002 NYC, the day I got to act opposite one of the great actresses of all time, Irene Worth, as Lord Darlington in a staged concert of Noel Coward's "After the Ball", a musical version of Wilde's "Lady Windermere's Fan". This lovely song is little known. Thanks to our director, Bob Diamond, for getting Irene Worth to perform this, and for allowing me to exit kissing her hand and bowing, while holding an F#. Constance Green is a most lovely Lady Windermere.

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. It's hard to comprehend the amount of plastic waste humans produce every single day. But the impact is impossible to ignore. However, the answer is not recycling -- it's reuse. Irene Rompa studied organizational psychology at VU University Amsterdam, but soon realized that while she loved her studies, what really makes her happy is improving the world. Over the last few years, Irene has initiated and worked on different projects that create awareness around the issue of sustainability.

Illuminating the struggle of characters whether seen through a comedic or a serious lens is a hallmark of Martha Coolidge's work from her first documentaries to her remarkable pioneering achievements in feature and television films. Considered a consummate filmmaker she is also known as an "Actor's Director" due to her knack to inspire actors like Robert Duvall, Halley Berry, Laura Dern and Nicolas Cage to give very special performances. With an excellent eye for casting and her attention to detail Coolidge has brought stories to life in historic, contemporary and futuristic settings. Early in 2009 American Girl released their first contemporary film American Girl: Chrissa Stands Strong directed by Ms. Coolidge that premiered on HBO. Just recently this powerful and very honest drama on sc...

Irene & Adrian's Love Story www.siounis.com This is a love story we filmed about Adrian's proposal to the youngest of my 7 sisters, Irene. Not only is Adrian now my new brother in law, he has also been part of the Siounis team from the very beginning. Their wedding day was long awaited for and we were all very excited. We couldn't wait to share this video with all of our family and friends. Irene had not seen the video prior so she did not know that we had filmed the making of her engagement ring. Her reaction to it was priceless...very emotional. We would like to thank Barry at Laurenten Jewellers for his patience & for letting us film in his store. We would also like to thank Demosthene Elementary School for letting us film during one of Irene's classes. The final part of the film ...
"When Your Hands Are Tied" is not for profit educational film created to be freely distributed. This film explores the unique ways in which native youth are finding to express themselves in the contemporary world while maintaining strong traditional lives. Since Native American youth do not often see reflections of themselves or their communities in mainstream media, we wanted to make a film that features contemporary youth and role models who are finding exciting and positive ways to direct their lives. We also wanted young people to learn the importance of self-motivation in combination with traditional teachings to help prepare for the challenges of everyday life. Some of the people we meet are: Navajo rappers, who rap in Navajo, with a mission to communicate to young people the im...
HEAR ME OUT (2013) - A film by Steffie van Rhee and Martijn Wüts Of course siblings argue about things but this deaf brother and sister can't seem to agree on one life changing decision: taking an cochlear implant or staying deaf. Siblings Irene and Sjoerd were both born deaf. But 9 years ago, at the age of 21, Irene decided to get an cochlear implant. It had a lot of impact on the whole family, but it was worth it because after the operation she could hear the voices of her mom, dad and brother for the first time. Her brother Sjoerd is still in doubt. Having surgery is a big risk but he really wants to hear what Irene now can hear. Will he follow and also take a CI? Music by Thijs Zilverberg
Directly north of (ie behind) Haghia Sophia are the walls shielding the imperial enclave of Topkapý Palace. Part command centre for a massive military empire, part archetypal Eastern pleasure dome, the palace was the hub of Ottoman power for more than three centuries, until it was superseded by the Dolmabahçe Palace in 1853. In terms of lavish decor and exquisite siting, it rivals Granada's Alhambra and beats hands down almost anything else in Europe. At least half a day is needed to explore the place fully, although given the high admissions you might want to take a full day over it to get your money's worth. If pushed for time, the must-see elements are the Harem, Imperial Treasury and the views from the fourth and innermost courtyard. Entrance is via the Imperial Gate (Bab-i Hümayun), ...

Interview with Irene Norton: Getting Your Money's Worth with Judith West http://www.gettingyourmoneysworthnyc.com/ Irene Norton - CLU, ChFC, CLTC, American Business Inc. If you think you pay for life insurance and your beneficiaries will receive the amount you signed up for, think again. Interest rates can affect the final payout. That's why it's important, according to Irene Norton, independent consultant, to review your insurance portfolio on a regular basis. Things change. For instance, in the 90's when the stock market was hot, Universal Life Insurance which is tied to interest rates was most desirable. Now, the ability to earn an interest rate of 4 percent, a higher interest rate than you can get on conventional fixed income choices, makes Whole Life Insurance more attractive. Th...
