Meet Shelly Fabares - Actress, Activist, Super Tomato
We watched Shelly Fabares on The Donna Reed Show when she was America's undisputed sweetheart  playing the ever-wholesome daughter Mary Stone. We sang along to "Johnny Angel" her #1 billboard song. We envied her as Elvis Presley's leading lady in three movies. In recent years she captivated us again in her role has the strong willed woman who played Craig T. Nelson's mate on Coach for 8 seasons, a role for which she received 2 Emmy Nominations. For the past 25 years she has been married to actor, activist Mike Farrell (M*A*S*H).  After being diagnosed with severe auto-immune hepatitis, she underwent a liver transplant in 2000. These days she has pink spiky hair and has avoided the Hollywood pressures to keep her face eternally young, which in our book is just one of the many reasons why she's still America's sweetheart.  Don't miss our interview with this fabulous tomato on Wed. at 1PM EST live on Tomatoes in the Trenches.  (Or on demand at your leisure.)
