	Actors - Irene Manning

Irene Manning (July 17, 1912 - May 28, 2004) was an actress/singer. She was born Inez Harvuot in Cincinnati, Ohio in a family of 5 siblings. She performed with bandleader Glenn Miller shortly before his death in 1944. She is probably best remembered as diva "Fay Templeton" in Yankee Doodle Dandy
(1942) opposite James Cagney. Also briefly known as Hope Manning. She is not known to be related to the late opera singer Clifford Harvuot.

The musical stage took priority in the second half of the 1940s with "The Day Before Spring" on Broadway and both DuBarry Was a Lady
and Serenade in London. She remained in England and appeared on her own BBC TV show, An American in England until 1951, when she returned to the United States for TV and nightclub work.

Eventually she retired to teach acting and voice.

She died aged 91 from congestive heart failure at her home in San Carlos, California.
