Charles Farrell

Charles David Farrell was born to David Henry Farrell (1870 - 1965) and Estelle Warren "Stella" Carew (1871 - 1930). He had one sister, Ruth Mayville Farrell (1899 - 1966). Charles Farrell married Virginia McSweeney, also known as Virginia Valli (1898 - 1968) on February 14, 1931. Charles Farrell was the handsome, charming and high-class father in the show, MY LITTLE MARGIE, in which he co-starred with Gayle Storm. From a portion of his Find A Grave Memorial "An actor and a businessman, Charles was a popular Hollywood leading man, in first silent films and then early talkie movies. By the end of the '30s, Farrell's star diminished but in 1938, he with several partners founded the fabled Hollywood Racquet Club which became the watering hole of the stars in Palm Springs that took a dusty, hot little town where no one ever ventured to a place of prosperity, plush development and the winter home of movie stars and famous people of every description including Presidents." A veteran of World War II, Charles served in the United States Navy. See Charles Farrell: Obituary.
