❀ Rest in Peace Irene Dunne ❀
(December 20th, 1898 – September 4th, 1990)
“The Irene I know is as vague as the absent-minded professor – and as adroit. She´s casual as a Noel Coward heroine and as conscientious as a Salvation Army missionary. She´s as fragile as Dresden and as strong as steel.”
-Loretta Young


“I appeared with many leading men. But working with Cary Grant was different from working with other actors; he was much more fun! I think we were a successful team because we enjoyed working together tremendously, and that pleasure must have shown through onto the screen … I will always remember two compliments he made me. He said I had perfect timing in comedy and that I was the sweetest-smelling actress he ever worked with.” (Irene Dunne)

Reason n.1543 why Irene Dunne is better than you:
you were not one of the founders of the Women’s Pipe Smokers Club in 1926.
The Awful Truth, Leo McCarey, 1937.
