	Irene Worth: Grandes Dames
		Irene Worth, born in 1916 in Nebraska, is one of the last of the generation of legendary actors of the English-speaking world.
		Worth's reputation rests on not only the classics, but contemporary drama from Samuel Beckett to Tennessee Williams to David Hare: She won Tony awards both for the Broadway production of Edward Albee's Tiny Alice and Neil Simon's Lost in Yonkers (she is in the movie as well).
		Worth will be appearing at Bryn Mawr College on Friday, Sept. 15 in her Portrait of Edith Wharton, a show she originally created as a benefit for The Mount, Wharton's home, and subsequently presented at the Public Theatre in NY.

	Guardian \| Irene Worth
		Irene Worth, who has died aged 85, was an actor of a quality that no self-respecting playgoer would voluntarily miss, in anything.
		Worth was happiest in the avant-garde, or at a run-through in a gloomy rehearsal hall - "Why should we suddenly have to be perfect on the first night?" She relished improvisation, and preferred the experimental.
		Worth loved sharing the spoken word with an audience "before television gobbles it up", yet she did award-winning work on TV in Britain, the US and Canada, and on film from the early 1950s into the 1990s.

	The Fort Worth Forum > Irene and Vernon Castle
		Irene and Vernon Castle were pop icons during the 1910s and were responsible for launching the huge dance craze of the 1910s which became even bigger in the 1920s.
		Irene was a trendsetter for ladies fashion - for example, when she fell ill and cut her long hair, women across America followed her example and had their hair "bobbed" like hers.
		Irene traveled to Texas to be with her husband and they stayed in a luxurious suite at the Westbrook Hotel in downtown Fort Worth - which became their last residence together.

	Review: Andrei Serban directs Irene Worth in `Happy days’
		Worth is an American actress whom American audiences regularly assume to be British, perhaps because of her many years with the Old Vic and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
		Worth is most captivating in her moments of pure mime; one can clearly see why she finds Winnie ‘the closest to Charlie’s tramp that you can get.’ But her Winnie is so realistically composed that her thoughts and words seem perfectly natural for a middle-aged woman with a cluttered mind.
		Irene Worth’s Winnie is neither deluded nor conventional, and she is sentimental only with Willie who is the real buffoon here.

	Irene Worth
		Irene Worth may all her life have sought the company of the intelligentsia — especially its more fashionable members —but she could also be an accomplished comedienne, with a rich and gurgling laugh shaking her mane of chestnut hair.
		Worth’s exceptional versatility was demonstrated by the contrast between her two major performances on stage in the mid 1950s.
		It was perhaps Worth’s reputation as a loner that made her seek the security of the subsidised theatre.

		IRENE WORTH, the American-born actress who has died aged 85, was one of the most accomplished, elegant and serious-minded actresses of her generation.
		This brought her under the spell of such directors as Tyrone Guthrie, Peter Brook, Jonathan Miller and Andrei Serban; and it was typical of her that in 1970 she should plunge into the rigours of Brook's new company from Paris when it visited the Shiraz festival in Iran.
		Irene Worth was born in Nebraska on June 23 1916 and educated at the University of California, Los Angeles.

		In the film version, with Ruehl and Worth repeating their Tony-winning roles, Simon intensifies the barrage of belly laughs and bathos.
		Ruehl and Worth have played these roles for so long in the theater that their inflections seem set in stone.
