How did Shelley Fabares and Mike Farrell meet?

Actress Shelley Fabares and Mike Farrell tied the knot on December 31, 1984. Shelley Fabares was born in Santa Monica, California, under the given name Michele Ann Marie Fabares. She began her acting career at an early age, making her television debut at the age of ten.

Her success on the show earned her a recording contract, and she went on to make five studio albums during the 1960s. “Johnny Angel,” her most popular single, peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1962 and sold over one million copies.

After leaving “The Donna Reed Show,” Fabares continued to act in films and TV shows throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

With Fabares playing the lead part, MGM created a pilot for a TV series based on the movie Meet Me in St. Louis in 1966. But, despite her success in other areas, no networks gave the pilot a favorable review, and the series was not picked up.
