Irán Eory was born Elvira Teresa Eory Sidi in Teheran, Iran on October 21, 1937. Her father was an Austrian Jew and her mother an Iranian Jew. 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, 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. She reached her peak of popularity in the 1970s. This is due to her participation in the two longest soap operas in the history of Mexican television: ‘El Amor Has Cara de Mujer’, in 1973, and ‘Mundo de Toy’, which began in mid-1974.
At the end of the 1970s she launched herself into a new career of theatre musicals, specializing in the zarzuelas.
In the 1980s she began to have health problems which led to partial paralysis and out of the public eye. By the early 2000s she felt she had recovered enough to plan a new television production which she would appear in. It was then she suffered a brain hemorrhage and died from an embolism at 64 in Mexico City on March 10, 2002.
Eory appeared in over 90 films and television series among which were two Spaghetti westerns: “Zorro the Avenger” in 1962 as Luisa and “The Man from the Cursed Valley” in 1964 as Gwen Burnett with Ty Hardin.
