Of Interest to All Iris Fans
The Another
World Home Page: This is the best soap opera website I have
ever seen, and there is quite a bit about Iris. Be sure to check out
Iris's character
profile; several vintage Beverlee clips in the audio section; and even a list of the names
Iris' maid, Louise, gave to her plants in the miscellaneous
section.
The Another World Picture Gallery:
Includes a number of rare pictures of both Beverlee and Carmen as Iris.
P&G Classic Soaps AOL Video Channel:
Classic P&G soap episodes from the late 1970s and early 1980s available for download online, including the first 70 episodes of Texas ("starring Beverlee McKinsey") with more apparently being added on a regular basis.
The World of Soap
Themes: Vintage opening and closing sequences of virtually
every daytime drama to air in the past fifty years, including Another
World. You can catch a glimpse of Carmen in Iris' Snowflake Ball
costume in the early 1990s opening, and don't miss the original
Texas opening sequence, featuring the voiceover, "Texas,
starring Beverlee McKinsey!" Also, if you subscribe to the premium membership, be sure to check out Carmen's heartbreaking performance at Mac's funeral on Another World.

Marj Dusay's
Official Website: I figured this site wouldn't be complete
without some mention of Marj, who replaced Beverlee on Guiding
Light . :) Marj is so fabulous that I might have gone ahead and
included her in this site as well, making it a trio, if there were not
already page(s) devoted to her on the net.
The
Official Ilene Kristen Website: Another website I created, about the marvelous Ilene
Kristen, who plays Roxy on One Life to Live and who played
Delia on Ryan's Hope - perhaps the only other character in
daytime to ever be written (and portrayed) as being as realistically
neurotic as Iris. When Ilene and Beverlee once presented a daytime Emmy
together, Afternoon TV Magazine wrote, "Super witches Iris
Bancroft and Delia Ryan (Beverlee McKinsey and Ilene Kristen) paired as
presenters - what a combination!"
