[edit] Biography
Born Olive Dines, Felicia Farr appeared in several modeling photo shoots and advertisements during the 1950s and 1960s. Her earlist screen appearances date from the mid-fifties and included the Westerns Jubal (1956) and 3:10 to Yuma (1957), both starring Glenn Ford.
Lee Farr was her first husband, a liasion which produced a daughter, Denise Farr Gordon, (Denise Gordon is the wife of actor Don Gordon.) Farr's second husband was the film star Jack Lemmon; they married in 1962 (while Lemmon was filming the comedy Irma La Douce in Paris), and remained so until his death in 2001.[3]
Her later films include the bawdy Billy Wilder farce Kiss Me, Stupid (1964) with Dean Martin and Ray Walston (as her husband, a role originally intended for Lemmon), Matthau's daughter-in-law in Kotch (1971, Lemmon's only film as director), the Don Siegel bank-heist caper Charley Varrick (1973) with Walter Matthau plus more than thirty television series appearances on The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, Bonanza, Ben Casey, Burke's Law and many others.
After her marriage to Jack Lemmon, Farr gave birth to a daughter, Courtney, in 1966.[3] She is also the stepmother of Lemmon's son, actor and author Chris Lemmon.
