Iris Adrian
Iris Adrian was born on May 29, 1912 in USA. Iris Adrian's big-screen debut came with The Vagabond King directed by Ludwig Berger in 1930. Iris Adrian is known for The Odd Couple directed by Gene Saks, Jack Lemmon stars as Felix Ungar and Walter Matthau as Oscar Madison. The upcoming new movie Iris Adrian plays is Herbie Goes Bananas which will be released on Jun 25, 1980.
Sugar, Pepper, Pearl, Sunny, Goldie, Bubbles, all those are nicknames borne by petite actress Iris Adrian in several of the 160 movies she made. With such names, don't expect to see her playing Joan of Arc or Electra but it remains that all these pet names reflect her winning femininity, its sweetness, its spiciness, its radiance. What's more their funny overtones are telltale signs of Iris Adrian's own quick witty sense of humor. Sexy yes, but with a sharp tongue. This aspect of her personality helped her to evolve and last, changing from the roles of blonde chorus girls or waitresses or, on the wilder side, of streetwalkers and other gangsters' molls to colorful bit parts in comedies with Abbott and Costello, Jerry Lewis and Elvis Presley. She ended up playing almost exclusively for Walt Disney productions before retiring at the respectable age of 82. Though she never achieved star status she could easily have if the circumstances had been favorable. For she steals scenes in a lot of movies provided of course her role is fleshed out sufficiently. She was excellent, for instance, in more than one poverty row crime movies. Don't miss her in En parade (1936), Chercheurs d'or (1940) (with the Marx Brothers), L'Étrangleur (1943), Visage pâle (1948), La voleuse (1950), and Le zinzin d'Hollywood (1961) (with Jerry Lewis).
