We will grow fonder of IRIT when we see her in the movies again. Those were yummy falafels at the gettogether afterwards. 'Twas nice meeting her kinfolks.

Complex, funny, big hearted, stubborn, generous, didn't mince words, I had her house key, she had mine, I had her heart, she had mine.

I have known Irit for many years now. I will always miss her wicked and playful wit; being embarrassed by something she did while dining out; and practicing a little German language. I'm so shocked and sad that her light is now no longer here. Rest in peace dear friend.

Irit was a power to be reckoned with . She was contrary , but had a big heart. She was very private yet outgoing in her roles as an actress. She was open and closed , funny and smart . She could be a challenge ......I shall miss her .

I only met Irit briefly, and I wish I'd had the opportunity to hear her talk about her experiences. My best wishes to Irit's remaining family.
