Who is Mike Farrell?

Mike Farrell is a renowned American actor recognized for his outstanding performance as Captain B.J. Hunnicutt in the popular TV series MAS*H (1975-83). Apart from his successful acting career, Farrell is also a producer and has produced the movie Patch Adams (1998) starring Robin Williams. He also appeared in the TV series Providence (1999-2002). Farrell is known for his active involvement in social and political activism, and he frequently engages in public speaking events.

Born as one of four siblings to Agnes Sarah Cosgrove and Michael Joseph Farrell in St. Paul, Minnesota, Farrell's family moved to Hollywood, California, when he was only two years old. His father worked as a carpenter on various film sets. Farrell attended West Hollywood Grammar School and graduated from Hollywood High School, where he was in the same class as Natalie Wood. After serving in the United States Marine Corps from 1957 to 1959, Farrell worked at different jobs before finally pursuing acting.

In 1975, Farrell received a major career break when Wayne Rogers left MAS*H after the third season. He was chosen to play the newly created role of B.J. Hunnicutt, alongside Harry Morgan, who replaced McLean Stevenson in the same season. Morgan had previously appeared as General Bartford Hamilton Steele in the season-three episode "The General Flipped at Dawn," for which he won an Emmy Award for Best Guest Role in a Primetime Comedy Series. Farrell remained on the show for the remaining eight years of its run and even wrote five episodes and directed four during that time.

Who is Mike Farrell married to?

Mike Farrell married twice in his life. He is now married to Shelly Fabares and the couple happily live together. Mike Farrell's second wife, Shelley Fabares, was not his mistress while he was still married to Judy, 84. The two met in 1970 when Fabares guest-starred on an episode of Farrell's short-lived series, "The Interns." However, their romantic relationship did not begin until 12 years later when they crossed paths again at a CBS affiliates convention.

At the time, both Farrell and Fabares were divorced - Fabares from record mogul husband Lou Adler and Farrell from Judy, whom he divorced in 1983. After meeting again, Farrell invited Fabares to coffee and later to an exhibit of his photos and films from a trip to Central America.

Within a year, the couple got engaged and tied the knot in 1984 at the Pacific Palisades home of Fabares' aunt, veteran actress Nanette Fabray. Their early years of marriage were challenging, but they seemed to be a perfect fit for each other, as confirmed by Fabares' "Coach" co-star, Craig T. Nelson.

Despite their long-lasting marriage, the couple faced more challenges when Fabares fell gravely ill in 1994 after falling through the floor joists of her under-construction home and breaking all the ribs on her left side. The fall led to her needing a liver transplant, which became successful after years of struggles. Farrell became her full-time caregiver and nursed her back to health.

Now, 24 years later, Fabares is healthy and happy, and the couple's love has stood the test of time.

Mike Farrell Wife

Mike Farrell's first wife, Judy, had a notable acting career herself, having starred in eight episodes of the television series "MAS*H" as Nurse Able. The couple got married in 1963 and settled in Laguna Beach. While Judy taught at a high school, Mike worked as a process server, and they both performed at the Laguna Playhouse.

When Mike decided to pursue acting full-time, the couple relied on Judy's income while he pursued acting opportunities. Three years into their marriage, they separated for a year, and they eventually divorced in the same year that "MAS*H" ended.

After the divorce, Judy remarried to Joe Bratcher in 1985. Tragically, Judy Farrell passed away at the age of 84 after suffering a stroke. She was hospitalized for nine days, unable to speak but alert. Judy is survived by her daughter Erin and son Michael, who informed TMZ about her passing.

Mike Farrell Children

Mike Farrell and his first wife, Judy, became parents for the first time in 1963 when they welcomed their daughter, Erin, into the world. The couple's second child, a son named Michael, was born in 1970. It was during this time that Mike was establishing himself as an actor and building his career in the entertainment industry.

Despite the challenges that come with raising a family and pursuing careers, Mike and Judy managed to balance their responsibilities and make their marriage work for over two decades. However, their marriage eventually came to an end, and they went their separate ways.

Today, Erin is 59 years old, and Michael is 53. They have both grown up to be successful in their respective fields, and although their parents' marriage ended in divorce, they have continued to maintain a close relationship with both their father and their stepmother, Shelley Fabares.
