Irene Klarich, was born in Chicago, Illinois, in 1957.
Her first acting experience was a general casting call for extras in her hometown of Colfax, CA, for an indie film The Independent. This led Irene to pursue a career in acting in 1990 at John Robert Powers, Sacramento, doing workshops with Michael Fenton, Jim Velona, MCG & Assoc, and Michael Cushman. Representing JRP at the IMTA in Los Angeles in 1991, Irene won an honorable mention in both Drama and Comedy.
After the IMTA, Irene decided to put her dreams of acting on hold, focusing on raising her daughters. During that time, she wrote and directed children's Christmas plays at her church. For 9 years Irene was an annual cast member with both of her daughters in The Thorn (Rob Stennett), a theatrical reenactment of Christ's Passion. Andover High(Ken Mostek) was being filmed in Colorado, in which Irene had a role as an extra.
In 2012, Irene auditioned for Golden Eagle Films, Dr. Nancy Hamilton, who advertised a casting call for a local movie, Jesus The Desire of Ages, in Oroville, California. She was cast as Jairus's wife, a biblical character. Dr. Hamilton of Golden Eagle Films, cast her as Susan in her movie, Never Alone. Producer and actress Sandra Dee Richardson, cast Irene as Head ER Nurse, in her short film, Healing Yesteryear. Irene landed a leading role in Dr. Hamilton's film, We Promised. She is a crew member and lead actress in Dr. Hamilton's Scattered in the Ashes, Proof of Concept, Fire on the Ridge.
Besides her desire for acting, Irene is an avid volunteer at North Valley Animal Disaster Group, NVADG, where her passion for animals is realized. The rescue training and certifications Irene possesses are Swiftwater and Static Water, Evacuation Fireline, Low Angle Rope, and Helicopter Rescue.
In November of 2021, Irene decided to move back to Colorado to be with her family and grandchildren. This decision was reinforced by the losses and lifestyle changes caused by the 2018 Camp Fire.
Dr. Nancy Hamilton, once again called on Irene, now living in Colorado, casting her as Christy's mother, in the Sierra Production movie/documentary, titled Transformation, which was in production in California. Transformation won countless awards, and Irene won an award for Best Supporting Actress in this film, at the South Film and Arts Academy Festival.
