Charles Farrell was an American film actor of the 1920s silent era and into the 1930s, and later a television actor. Farrell is probably best recalled for his onscreen romances with actress Janet Gaynor in more than a dozen films, including 7th Heaven, Street Angel, and Lucky Star. Later in life he starred on TV in the 1950s sitcoms My Little Margie and playing himself in The Charles Farrell Show. He was active in business and civic affairs in Palm Springs, California, serving for a time as mayor.

Fun Fact:

Charles Farrell’s wife, Virginia Valli, career declined quickly with the coming of sound. Her final film was Night Life in Reno (1931) for Supreme Feature Films, a minor producing company. In 1931, she married film star Charles Farrell, whose screen career was also beginning a decline, and retired. They moved to Palm Springs and opened The Raquet Club, which for many years was one of the premier sites for lodging and entertainment in the desert.
