Irán Eory

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

Biography

She was born on October 21, 1937 in Tehran, Iran, to an Austrian Jewish father who was a diplomat at the time whilst her mother — Angela Sidi — was of Iranian Jewish origins. Irán was given as the screen name for her, because it reflected her country of origin.

Eory was raised in Spain, where she learned Spanish, and entered a beauty contest in Monaco, where she was noticed by Prince Rainier. She started her acting career before emigrating to Mexico in the late 1960s, hoping 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.
