Noted by Vittorio De Sica, Dilian was one of Maddalena's students ...Zero in conduct next to Carla del Poggio always of 1940 and where, with the first pseudonym of Eva Dilian, had a great success for a role that became his. 

After that film the Privista par excellence of the Italian Cinema of white telephones, Dilian was certainly one of the most popular actresses of the years ' 40, especially in the role of students antipathetic but still endowed with beauty in the premises but made However infectious by the interpretive sweetness of the actress. This was true even in the other role that in 1941 the Dilián starred: the poetess Teresa ditzy Friday again directed by De Sica and this time alongside Adriana Benetti as the protagonist. But Irasema Dilián, this now the stage name you chose permanently, is the consecration in Hours 9: chemistry class where, directed by Mario Mattòli and alongside young and beautiful as Alida Valli, Andrea Checchi and Bianca Della Corte, as Maria won first place in the opening credits and established himself in public, especially in the hearts of viewers adolescent males, as the sensitive girl and sincere that everyone dreamed of marrying. 

The Dilian obtained with that movie a great success, he starred in a continuous Jet in movies that cashed in so much as, among others, Violets in the hair Carlo Ludovico Bragaglia, the seven deadly sins of Ladislaus Kish and Malombra of Mario Soldati of 1942, escape for two voices, with Gino Bechi, even Bragaglia of 1943. After the war she appeared in Black Eagle of Riccardo Fredadel 1946, The daughter of Captain Mario Camerini of 1947 and The King's Courier di Gennaro Righelli of 1948, period film, which marked a new horizon for Dilian, now woman, who, after getting together with other Italian stars, in Spain a artistic refuge during R.S.I., returned often to the Iberian Peninsula to act in several films even after the conflict.

Among the various films is to be reported Wuthering Peaks by Luis Buñuel of 1954, perhaps the only film that the director regretted to turn. In the early sixties the Dilian withdrew, still on the crest of the wave, from the world of entertainment and returned to live in Italy, while her husband Arduino Maiuri continued his career as a screenwriter.
