Iris Burton, a former hoofer who discovered a slew of child actors, died Saturday in Woodland Hills. She was 77 and had been suffering from pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease.

Services for Burton will be held at 1 p.m. Thursday at Mount Sinai Hollywood Hills.

Burton discovered child thesps including River Phoenix, Kirsten Dunst and Henry Thomas. At one point in the 1980s, Burton had child actors in virtually every sitcom. Over the years, her clients included Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Drew Barrymore, Tori Spelling, Fred Savage, Jerry O'Connell and Kirk Cameron. She co-represented Joaquin Phoenix and Josh Hartnett until recently.

That is a shame. But how wonderful to be that successful at what you do. I wonder if Josh will want to be there for the service?

I wonder that too, although I don´t even know this person, but if she worked for him until recently, I guess he maybe wants to be there
