In 1951 she joined the Old Vic company, and there she played Helena in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", directed by Tyrone Guthrie, and her first Lady Macbeth. When the Old Vic went touring in South Africa, Irene was one of the leading ladies.
In 1999, Worth had a stroke just before she was to begin preview performances in a Broadway revival of Anouilh's "Ring Round the Moon". She never managed to appear in the production.
She made her Broadway debut with "The Two Mrs Carrolls" in 1943, which starred the legendary Elisabeth Bergner. It was Bergner and her film director husband Paul Czinner who persuaded Irene that London was the center of the English-speaking theatre. She moved there and immediately trained at the Old Vic in 1944.
She was awarded the 1975 Joseph Jefferson Award for Best Guest Artist for her performance in "Sweet Bird of Youth" at the Academy Festival Theatre in Chicago, Illinois.
In 1920 her family moved to Reedley, California. She graduated from Newport Harbor High School in 1933.
