Penn State alumnus Felicia Farr always seemed much too intelligent for the standard western leading lady parts she was usually saddled with in films. It was a far more rewarding experience to watch Farr essay such roles as the drunken, frustrated housewife who—almost in spite of herself—seduces pop star Dean Martin in Kiss Me, Stupid. In 1962, Farr became the second wife of actor Jack Lemmon, a union that stands to this day. Felicia Farr has acted with her husband in That's Life (1986), and was directed by him in Kotch (1971).
