While studying for a master's degree at UCLA in 1961, she met actor Mike Farrell.[1] She worked as a high-school English and drama teacher at Laguna Beach High School in Laguna Beach, California.[2] In August 1963, she married Farrell, with whom she subsequently had two children, Erin and Michael.[2] In the 1960s, Farrell and she performed together at the Laguna Playhouse.[1] They divorced in the early 1980s.[2]
The Farrells' marriage was worked into the script of one episode of M*A*S*H: In the episode "The Colonel's Horse," Mike's character B.J.
