Irene Vernon (January 16, 1922 - April 21, 1998) was an American actress. Vernon was born as Irene Vergauwen in Mishawaka, Indiana. Her career began with small uncredited roles in 1940s movies. Vernon ended her movie career in 1952, but during the 1950s, she began performing television roles. After writer Danny Arnold left the series, the producers, actress Elizabeth Montgomery and Montgomery`s husband, director William Asher, reportedly pressured Vernon to leave the show also due to her friendship with Arnold (although the official reason given was that Vernon`s husband was ill), according to IMDb. The role of Louise Tate was later taken over by Kasey Rogers. Irene Rosenberg (as she was known at the time of her death) died on April 21, 1998, in South Bend, Indiana, aged 76, from undisclosed causes.
