Irina Demick

With her slim frame, brown hair, and brown eyes, Irina Demick had the kind of classic look that suited the glamorous films of the late 1950s and 1960s. She stood 5'6", a height that worked well for both dramatic and lighthearted roles. Born in Pommeuse, France, she brought a definite French quality to her acting, even as she appeared in international productions.

Her career spanned from 1959 to 1972, a period of about 13 years. She started acting professionally at 22, which gave her time to build a steady presence on screen. She worked in an era of changing film styles, and her look fit both the polished studio pictures and the more natural films of the time.

Irina was a straight woman of Caucasian ethnicity, and her career was her main public focus. She passed away on October 8, 2004, at the age of 67. She left behind a body of work from a significant period in cinema history.
