Myrna Fahey’s zodiac sign is Aries. According to astrologers, the presence of Aries always marks the beginning of something energetic and turbulent. They are continuously looking for dynamic, speed and competition, always being the first in everything - from work to social gatherings. Thanks to its ruling planet Mars and the fact it belongs to the element of Fire (just like Leo and Sagittarius), Aries is one of the most active zodiac signs. It is in their nature to take action, sometimes before they think about it well.
Myrna Fahey was born in the Year of the Rooster. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Rooster are practical, resourceful, observant, analytical, straightforward, trusting, honest, perfectionists, neat and conservative. Compatible with Ox or Snake.
She appeared in episodes of 37 television series from the 1950s into the 1970s, including Bonanza, Wagon Train, Straightaway, The Time Tunnel, Maverick (in the episode entitled "Duel at Sundown" with James Garner and Clint Eastwood), Laramie, Gunsmoke, Perry Mason' ‘ , The Adventures of Superman, Kraft Suspense Theatre, Daniel Boone, Perry Mason, and Batman.
Fahey made four guest appearances on the CBS courtroom drama series Perry Mason: Lydia Logan in the 1960 episode, "The Case of the Nimble Nephew", defendant Grace Halley in the 1961 episode "The Case of the Violent Vest", murder victim and titular character Myra Warren in the 1965 episode "The Case of the Gambling Lady", and defendant Holly Andrews in the 1966 episode "The Case of the Midnight Howler".
Fahey's most sustained television work was a starring role in the one-season (1961–62) series Father of the Bride. It was based upon a film of the same name starring Spencer Tracy and Elizabeth Taylor. Fahey likely got the role because, as one newspaper reviewer pointed out, she "looks enough like Liz Taylor to be her sister." Fahey was not flattered by the comparison, however, telling one interviewer "the fact that I'm supposed to look like Elizabeth Whats-Her-Name had nothing to do with my getting [the part], because we don't really look alike I don't think, we just happen to have the same colorings." Fahey wanted to be released from the show even before it came up for renewal, reportedly feeling too much emphasis was being placed on the "father" character and not enough on her "bride."
Fahey became the subject of death threats while dating former baseball great Joe DiMaggio in 1964. The FBI determined the threats came from a patient at the Agnews Developmental Center, a mental hospital in San Jose, California. Apparently the patient could not bear to see DiMaggio with anyone other than Marilyn Monroe, who died in 1962. [1]
In 1966, she played Blaze in the Batman episodes, "True or False-Face" and "Holy Rat Race".
Fahey was born in Carmel, Maine, near Bangor in 1933, and grew up in Southwest Harbor near Bar Harbor, Maine, where she was a Cheerleader at Pemetic High School. She began competing in local beauty pageants in the early 1950s. She acted one season at the Pasadena Playhouse before breaking into TV, and became an avid skier in California. She invested in stocks and one of her contracts stipulated that she have a stock ticker in her dressing room. Besides baseball player Joe DiMaggio, she also dated actor George Hamilton. She died on May 6, 1973, at age 40 at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California, after a long battle with cancer. She is buried in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Bangor.
