I Mark Redmond met Shelly Fabares in January 1977 when she guest stared on Fantasy Island! She was very friendly and signed her call sheet to me Saying Mark good luck in life! All my best, Shelly Fabares! I was an extra background artist working on the Burbank Studio lot at the time! My hat is off to a great AMERICAN ACTRESS! Go Dhelly! You go girl! I am Presently 69 and was 23 and Shelly 33 years old when we met on sound stage 26 in Burbank! I still have her autograph on her call sheet from Fantasy Island
She's a Baby Doll. I've had a Crush on her all my life. Thank you Shelley for years of entertainment, you put a Lot of smiles on my face. Wishing her all the Best!
When she was 16 to like 20 years old I think she was the most beautiful woman I've probably ever seen she's a lot older than I am I'm 57 but looking at her at that age she was just simply an angel
In the early '70's, I was privileged to join a small party that included Shelley and her sister, Nanette (who was named for their aunt). She was wonderful - interesting and humble, and I won't forget her graciousness.
My first crush at 10 years old. Shelley and Veronica the lead singer of the Ronnettes I was totally in love with until I got into high school. I still look for re-runs of the Donna Reed Show and other shows she was in. Now in my 70s I still have a crush on her. She is still beautiful to this day.
Absolutely loved the Donna Reed Show...which I actually didn't discover until the late 80's/early 90's when it started running on Nick at Night when I was in Jr. High or High School. Of course my crush was actually for Donna Reed, I enjoyed the entire cast of the show.
As a little boy (I'm 68) I always thought she was pretty. Kinda like a bigger sister. Actually, I had a crush on her mother (Donna Reed). I'm happy she's had a decent life. Not easy in show biz.
I recall first seeing Shelley Fabares when she appeared as Rock Hudson-Cornell Borches' daughter in Never Say Goodbye. My early 60's movie magazines also covered her life and career in The Donna Reed Show which made her quite popular. Later in the 60's, she was Elvis Presley's co-star in Girl Happy and Spinout. Besides movies, she had a singing career and was modestly popular. She also did a lot of TV shows once The Donna Reed Show folded. Shelley was always the proper lady, on and off the screen and there were no scandals in which she was involved. She always remained politically right. Even today, for her age [she must be in her early 80's], she looks fantastic!!!
I always loved her. I had a crush on her when she was on "The Donna Reed" show. (Like every other teenage guy). She was teriffic in "Brian's Song". I'm so sorry to hear she had so much trouble with her health. I know how close she was with Annette Funnicello and how she was there for her during her health problems. She was always a treasure to watch. 💙
Shelley Fabares was born on January 19, 1944 and celebrated her 80th birthday today, January 19, 2024. She was on "The Donna Reed Show" (1958-1963) and the sitcom "Coach" (1989-1997) which earned her two Primetime Emmy Awards nominations. Her recording of "Johnny Angel" reached number one (#1) on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on April of 1962. It was a certified Gold Record, selling over a million copies. I was in eight grade at Miami Springs Junior High School when this song was popular
@@cynthiakoerner296 In season 5, (1963) Mary departed for college, reducing Shelley Fabares's appearances, something which continued yearly with her role becoming a minor character. Fabares left the full-time cast to pursue opportunities in films. She eventually returned seven times for guest appearances (Season 6 episodes 8, 11, 14; Season 7 episodes 5, 15, 30; Season 8 episode 13)
@@cynthiakoerner296 Thanks for pointing out that The Donna Reed Show itself ran through 1966. My comment didn't make clear that Shelley Fabares, as a main character, ended in 1963 but the show itself continued until 1966
I don't think there was any mention in the video of Shelley's part in the Brian Keith show (1972-74). I enjoyed the hell out of that show and wish they would release it in DVD form or bring it back on retro TV.
Shelley is an incredible singer and actress. However this miniature biography does leave a lot to be desired production wise. I will give you one hint...why was there no mention of her number one hit "Johnny Angel" ? If you do a biography, do it right. Do it via episodes.
I cannot believe the misinformation you have put out in this video! 80% of it is not true! What is true you have the incorrect timeline! Shelley is an extremely kind and beautiful lady that I have admired since I was a child and have been personal friends with since the 1970’s. I am appalled that anyone would do something so shabby in connection to her life. You don’t even have the names of tv series and films correct! Why do you call it a spoof? A spoof is to make fun of something. This doesn’t come off as your making fun of her but rather a badly researched film that is giving out terrible misinformation about her life, her mother, her career and her health! I can only imagine what rig are saying about other actresses! This is shameful.
Wow! very attractive. Did a little research, so her mother who had Alzheimer's since Shelly was a child(according to Spoof) died in 1992, if true that is an incredibly rough life.
It’s not true! Like most things in this horrific video the facts are completely distorted and I am appalled they did this to Shelley! I have been her devoted fan since childhood and a personal friend since the 70’s and this is just disturbing to me!
I always that that her mother was Nanette Fabray, but I now know she was not. There last names are not even spelled the same. Nanette was her aunt and chose to spell her name different for a reason.
As Shelly has Always among Manny Been A Golden Angel and remember Manny Movies of her and Elvis total Heart stoppin Totally At my age of 69 just too be able too talk too her in Person would be live in a Dream But know that would be the impossible Dream But the one thing like manny Shelly will live in my Heart Forever And Pray More she is Always Happy Daily
1.5 million is nothing for someone who worked in Hollywood for 50 years. I’m surprised she isn’t worth more. How about showing some pictures of the TV shows she was in later in life,especially Coach,instead of all her teen years!

Shelley fabares was the best friend of Annette funicello. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
Shelley just had a birthday yesterday, 1/22/24 she turned 80 years old.
She is truly lovely!
Admire Shelley very Much . Loved her with Elvis too
Well - We loved all her performances........................

Shelly was a great roll model for young pre teens, as well as later on in life. She made us all wish we could find our own Johnny. 💕
She made me wish i could find a Shelley just like her ❤
@@bluewave7120 Unless you're aristocracy you're not allowed to find a Shelley "just like her". Wishful thinking, no doubt.

Great singer......Johnny Angel
And the song Make Me Happy.
Yes a very bueatiful woman. The Donna Reed show, her role opposite ELVIS, and her other roles. What a great example she was. Thanks. 💖🇨🇦🇺🇸👍🎨🇨🇦🇺🇸👍
Didn't she also have a hit song "Johny Angel" while on the Donna Reed show?
Yep!
Wish you would have shown pictures of her on the sitcoms One Day At A Time and Coach.
Loved this, she has always been a favorite actress since I was a teenager. Judy, CA
3:09, I didn't know that was her in "Brian's Song"...
A wonderful actress I loved her and enjoyed performances

Good story.
I would like to hear about Bobby Driscol and. Also Luanna Patton they were actors in the same movies .
I loved the video? But I did not know she had ever married Mike Farrell from M.A.S.H. . Congrats two the two of them. 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸👍👍
She was also on Mork & Mindy in the last season.

Didn't Shelly play in an episode of the Twilight Zone?
Yes.
When she was part of The Donna Reed Show, every teenage male had a crush on her. Was unaware of her health issues later in life.
Hi Bill - do not forget Shelley's real life best friend, who was also every teenage male of our generation dream-girl... Annette! Ciao, L

I thought that you might have more photos showing Shelly during her older years. Do have any photos of the Beatles drummer and his wife?
Who was the woman in the last picture?
What happened to Lou? Why isn't he in the story??
Girl trouble !!

Left out Ride The Wild Surf.
Barbara Eden and Fabian were also in the movie, too. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
nothing in this video was a secret
I thought she was dead.
She is alive and still beautiful!
