FAREWELL, SHARON FARRELL

The announcement of your passing was helmed by "It's Alive Actress Dies," and though your part in Larry Cohen's horror classic is significant, you gave us far more than that. 

For example, you brought bubbly life to A Lovely Way to Die; Marlowe; Out of the Blue; Can't Buy Me Love; The Man From U.N.C.L.E.: The Spy With My Face; The Reivers; The Fifth Floor; The Love Machine; The Stunt Man; The PremonitionOne Man ForceLone Wolf McQuade; Arcade; Sweet Sixteen; and Night of the Comet

On television, you took your talents even further, with not only the aforementioned U.N.C.L.E., but The Wild Wild West; Gunsmoke; Wagon Train; Rawhide; The Virginian; Death Valley Days; The Fugitive; Ben Casey; Dr. Kildare; Medical Center; Burke's Law; Matlock; The D.A.; The Name of the Game; JAG; Naked City; The F.B.I.; Police Story; T.J. Hooker; Hawaii Five-O; The Lieutenant; Saints and Sinners; Gibbsville; My Favorite Martian; I Dream of Jeannie; Love, American Style; The Beverly Hillbillies; My Three Sons; Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color; Man from AtlantisThe Six Million Dollar Man; The Bionic WomanFreddy's Nightmares; Alfred Hitchcock Presents; The Alfred Hitchcock Hour; and for a long, celebrated haul, The Young and the Restless.

You were vivacious, off-the-cuff and gosh-darn beautiful. In this respect, your career held sustenance, charm and durability, Ms. Farrell, and it will continue to endure, for those of your high caliber can never be replaced.
