Nancy Kasselbaum qualifies. The first woman to be elected to a full term in the Senate without her husband having preceded her in Congress. The wife of Howard Baker. The daughter of Alf Langdon. A Republican opposed to DJT. Yup, she’s a celeb.
Shelley Fabares, star of “Coach” and “The Donna Reed Show,” dies at 82
I loved her in Coach. Mildred, her mother on Coach, was Nanette Fabray, her real-life aunt.
I didn’t realize she was married to Mike Farrell
What a professional career that not all actors want or get. The decades between those two shows!
I have long followed her career, first in Donna Reed reruns and then on Coach. Oh, and she was Brian Piccolo’s wife in Brian’s Song.
That movie was the first time I ever saw my big brother cry. And she was in One Day at a Time!
Clearly, she was a fave. ![]()
