Annie Fargue - Biography
Annie Fargé (15 April 1934 – 4 March 2011) was a French actress named "most promising new star in a situation comedy" in 1961 when she played the title role in CBS's Angel.
Fargé traveled to New York and later married dancer Dirk Sanders. The couple had a daughter, Leslie Tabuteau, a French TV producer, born shortly before Angel began filming in April 1960. Broadway producer Joshua Logan is said to have discovered Fargé and had her take English lessons. At the time of casting for the television series, Fargé was an understudy in the Broadway production of The World of Suzie Wong.
The Angel pilot did not impress the network, but when Lewine screened it for sponsors S. C. Johnson and General Foods, both sponsors were sufficiently impressed to tell the network executive to put the show on the air or they would cancel their sponsorship of all CBS programs. Fargé played Angelique "Angel" Smith, the scatterbrained French wife of American architect John Smith, played by Marshall Thompson. Doris Singleton was her sympathetic neighbor Susie, and Don Keefer was Susie's husband George. The show was filmed at Desilu Studios. The series ran for 33 episodes. After Angel folded due to low ratings, Fargé appeared as a guest star in a few other series, including The Rifleman and Adventures in Paradise.
Fargé divorced her husband and returned to France in the mid-1960s. Upon her return to France, Fargé became a theatrical producer (Hair, Godspell, Oh! Calcutta!, Jesus Christ Superstar) and was associate producer for the 1981 John Huston film Escape to Victory. She later became the manager of French singer Michel Polnareff.
