IRENE RICH
|T would be impossible to imagine that Irene Rich has ever spoken a cross word in her whole life. Her personality radiates sweetness and her manner is nothing if not genteel.
Miss Rich was born in Buffalo, New York, and educated at Saint Margaret's School for Girls.
She did not go on the stage before entering the films, but she started her screen career with the beginners when the profession was new.
The first part she played was in "A Law Unto Herself," opposite Frank Keenan.
And then, because of her beauty and ability as an actress, she was chosen by the Goldwyn company to play opposite Will Rogers in many of his starring productions. One of the first of these was "The Strange Boarder."
Then she played a featured role in an all-star Goldwyn film, "The Street Called Straight," and there further proved herself an actress of highly emotional quality.
For Fox she made "Lone Star Ranger" and "Wolves of the Night."
Then she returned to Goldwyn, where she played leads in "Jes' Call Me Jim," "Just Out of College," "Tale of Two Worlds" and "The Voice in the Dark."
With George Beban she played in "One Man in a Million."
When the all-star cast productions lately became so popular, Miss Rich's time was at a premium. Whenever a story called for
H^ i att i'.i Clarence S. Bui, Los A ngeles
highly emotional acting the casting director would page her. And sometimes they would wait until they could secure her services before starting the picture.
One of her latest and most successful roles was in John Stahl's production, "One Clear Call." There her work was at it's best, but she even surpassed it in "Brawn of the North."
Miss Rich is the leading lady type and can wear gowns majestically, but some of her finest work has been surrounded with drab costumes.
She has soft brown eyes and wavy brown hair, she weighs 138 pounds and measures five feet six inches tall.
