Annie Fargé

Annie Fargé (age and place of birth unknown) is a former French American actress who was declared the "most promising new star in a situation comedy" in 1961, [ [http://www.time.com/time/printout/0,8816,871774,00.html The New Shows - Printout - TIME ] ] when she costarred with Marshall Thompson, Doris Singleton, and Don Keefer in CBS's "Angel". Fargé (prononced far-ZHAY and sometimes known as Anne Fargé) played a young pretty scatterbrained wife, Angelique "Angel" Smith, to an American architect, John Smith, portrayed by Thompson (1925-1992). Singleton was her sympathetic neighbor Susie, and Keefer was Susie's husband George. The program was filmed at Desilu Studios under the producers Jess Oppenheimer and Edward H. Feldman. Prior to the debut of "Angel" on October 6, 1960, Fargé had made no previous acting appearances. The series ran for thirty-three episodes, with new segments until May 10, 1961. After "Angel" folded because of low ratings on Thursday evenings -- having lost out to another new sitcom, "My Three Sons" starring Fred MacMurray on ABC -- Fargé appeared as a guest star in a few other series, including two parts in 1962: as Jennifer in "The Princess" on "The Rifleman" with Chuck Connors and as Suzanne in "Policeman's Holiday" in "Adventures in Paradise" with Gardner McKay, both on ABC. Her last appearance was in 1964 in CBS's "The Case of the Betrayed Bride" on Raymond Burr's "Perry Mason".

Hugh Herbert at the Colonie Summer Theatre in Latham, New York. [ [http://www.collectorspost.com/cgi-bin/ShowItem.cgi?BUY1&000978&A3 Welcome to Collectors Post Online Store ] ]
