Irán Eory

Irán Eory (; 21 October 1937 – 10 March 2002, born Elvira Teresa Eory) was an Iranian-born actress. She achieved fame in Mexico after moving to that country in the late 1960s.

Biography 

She was born in Tehran, Iran, to an Austrian father and an Iranian Jewish mother — Angela Sidi — on October 21, 1937, in Tehran, Iran. Irán was given as the screen name for her, because it suggests her birth country.

Eory was raised in Spain, where she learned Spanish, and entered a beauty contest in Monaco, distinguished by Prince Rainier. She started her acting career before emigrating to Mexico in the late 1960s, to become an actress, singer, and a theatre producer.

Eory suffered a brain hemorrhage and she died at 64 in Mexico City on March 10, 2002, of embolism. Her ashes were entombed at the cemetery Panteón de Las Lomas located in Naucalpan, State of Mexico.
