Bye, bye, Shelly. She had a very long career. She always seemed to be a Lady and someone good to know.
I’m aware she was acting, but those were the parts she chose to do, and it was nice to see.

Who didn’t have a crush on her in the baby boomer generation growing up.
She was a class act.

She and Annette Funicello were dear friends since childhood — as Mousketeers, IIRC.

LOL...I'm sitting here trying to place her in..."Leave it to Beaver"!
I found this photo and thought "Wait a sec! Where's Beave? Where's Wally?"
Then it finally dawned on me -- wrong show!
It's funny, I know I very much liked "The Donna Reed Show" (September 24, 1958 - March 19, 1966 -- I was 7 when it debuted), but all I think of is her in Potterville at the library, her singing "Buffalo Gals" and getting her clothes snagged in the buses with Jimmy Stewart acting coy.

I loved her. I thought she was so great!
RIP, Shelly!

Her aunt was the actress Nannette Fabray—the last name was pronounced the same but spelled differently.
