Irene Adler is a fictional character featured in the Sherlock Holmes story "A Scandal in Bohemia" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, published in July, 1891. Her surname is the German word for "eagle". Often in dramatizations or dramatic readings of "A Scandal in Bohemia", the final "e" in the name "Irene" is pronounced long (eye-REE-nee).

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
She was reportedly born in New Jersey in 1858. She followed a career in opera as a contralto, performing in La Scala, Milan, Italy, and a term as Prima donna in the Imperial Opera of Warsaw, Poland. Adler retired in her late 20s from the operatic stage and moved to London.

Dr. Watson refers to her as "the late Irene Adler" at the time of the story's publication. The reasons for her death were not stated. It has been speculated, however, that the reason of both her early retirement and her early demise was a hidden health problem; alternatively, since Adler is stated to have been an "adventurer," it may be that she engaged in one more perilous adventure that cost her her life. On the other hand, this may be a misinterpretation of the word "late," which can also mean "former." She married Godfrey Norton, making the name Irene Adler a former name. (Doyle employs this same usage in The Adventure of the Priory School in reference to the Duke's former status as a cabinet minister.)

On March 20, 1888, according to the story, Wilhelm Gottsreich Sigismond von Ormstein, Grand Duke of Cassel-Felstein and hereditary King of Bohemia, incognito contacted Holmes to secure a photograph from Adler. The Monarch reigned from Prague but, in 1883, he reportedly paid "a lengthy visit to Warsaw" where he "made the acquaintance of the well-known adventuress, Irene Adler." The two became lovers, and Adler had kept a photograph of the two of them. The thirty-year-old King explained to Holmes that he intended to marry Clotilde Lothman von Saxe-Meningen (an unseen character), second daughter of the King of Scandinavia, a marriage that would be threatened if his relationship with Adler came to light. It should be noted that Scandinavia was at the time actually divided between the domains of two different Kings: Oscar II of Sweden and Norway, and Christian IX of Denmark and Iceland.

Using his considerable disguise skills, Holmes traced her movements and learned much of her private life. He then set up a faked incident to cause a diversion that would let him discover where the picture was hidden. When he came back to snatch it, he found Adler gone, along with her new husband and the goods, which had been replaced with a letter to Holmes.

At a time when ladies were supposed to be ladies, Adler had "the face of the most beautiful of women, and the mind of the most resolute of men," according to the King. She had the wit to one-up Holmes, and he admired her for it.

Adler earns Holmes' unbounded admiration, and even the King of Bohemia says, "Would she not have made an admirable queen? Is it not a pity that she was not on my level?"—a sentiment which Holmes treats with no attempt to conceal which of the two he thought to be on a higher level.

A large body of Holmes fan-fiction theorizes that Holmes and Adler eventually became romantically involved, although a statement to the contrary was made in the original story. Some fans have even theorized that Holmes and Adler were the parents of Nero Wolfe.

Adler is the namesake of Destiny, a comic book character.

Along with Professor Moriarty, Adler was the inspiration for Nicole Wallace, the archnemesis of Holmes-like detective Robert Goren on the NBC crime drama Law & Order: Criminal Intent

A series of mystery novels featuring Irene Adler as the protagonist and sleuth, chronicling her life after her famous encounter with Sherlock Holmes, have been written by Carole Nelson Douglas.

thanks. i heard only recently Brett dies back in 1995, i didnt hear about that so did this lil tribute.

the dolly is perfect for it. its my fave tune so it had to be done. even 21 years ago it reminded me of floyd the way it was filmed, and Brett made it all his own.

I understand the Basil fans but its just not my era.

theres a couple of jokes in that clip...where he is on the floor he is looking for some weed he dropped lol, and he throws a match and sets fire to the papers but im sure you picked that up. cheers.

At the End of The Hound of The Baskervilles with Rathbone as Holmes he tells Watson to "Get Me a Hypo". After Mixing it up with that nasty Hound he needed one I guess.
