biography

Vivacious, immensely likable character player, memorable as dizzy blondes, wisecracking gold-diggers and hard-boiled gangster's molls in a string of 1930s melodramas and musicals. Starting with "Smart Blonde" (1936), Farrell starred as Torchy Blane, enterprising woman reporter, in a series of seven B pictures.
