Irene Klarich

Irene Klarich, was born in Chicago, Illinois, on January 15, 1957. Her mother, Janina (Cybulski) Styrylski and late father, Joseph Michael Styrylski, lived their childhood in Poland, then met and married in England. Her sister, Anna, was born in England, then the family moved to America in 1956, and settled in Chicago. Irene's passion for animals and becoming a veterinarian went by the wayside, when she moved to California in 1976, soon after graduating high school, and landed a position with the Air Force, which became her life career. Irene's two daughters, Carrie and Michelle were born in California, and soon after, the Air Force moved Irene and her girls to Colorado for 10 years. Since that time her family has grown, and Irene has been blessed with a granddaughter and grandson. After coming back to California, she retired from Federal Civil Service with the Air Force in 2012. Throughout her childhood, in elementary and high school plays, Irene had extreme stage fright. Mixed choir in high school was her first breakthrough in the performing arts. Irene's 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, attending 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 and both her daughters were an annual cast members The Thorn (Rob Stennett). An indie film, Andover High(Ken Mostek) was being filmed in Colorado, in which Irene volunteered as an extra. Moving back to California in 2012, Irene was blessed to find a local movie production company in Oroville, CA, Myers Media/Golden Eagle Films, doing a casting call for Jesus The Desire of Ages. She was cast as Jairus's wife. Nancy Myers also cast her as Susan in her upcoming movie, Never Alone. Both films received a Golden Remi award at Houston's 47th Annual Filmfest 2014. Besides her desire for acting, Irene is an avid volunteer at North Valley Animal Disaster Group, NVADG, where her passion for animals is realized.
