Charles Farrell

Charles David Farrell (August 9, 1900 – May 6, 1990) was an American film actor whose height was in the 1920s and 1930s and the Mayor of Palm Springs from 1947 to 1955. Farrell was known for his onscreen romances with actress Janet Gaynor in more than a dozen films, including 7th Heaven, Street Angel, and Lucky Star.

He was a popular Hollywood leading man, first silent and then early talkie movies. By the end of the 30's, Farrell's star diminished but in 1938, he with several partners founded the fabled Hollywood Racquet Club which became the watering hole of the stars in Palm Springs that took a dusty, hot little town where no one ever ventured to a place of prosperity, plush development and the winter home of movie stars and famous people of every description including Presidents.

His success with the club also resurrected his career with the popular TV sitcom "My Little Margie" where he costarred with Gale Storm. The series was aired shortly after his election as the fifth mayor of Palm Springs to a six year term. The successful show made Charles Farrell the best-known mayor in the entire country. Soon, he would also headline an alternate TV series, the long running "Charlie Farrell Show" a sitcom which was virtually a national commercial for Palm Springs and his Racquet Club.

Farrell married Virginia Valli, a former silent film star, on February 1, 1931, in Yonkers, New York, after which the couple settled in Palm Springs. She died from a stroke on September 24, 1968. According to historian Stephen O'Brien, Farrell became increasingly reclusive after his wife’s death, until he died from heart failure on May 6, 1990, in Palm Springs. He was buried next to his wife at the Welwood Murray Cemetery.

original caption:

A very cute informal picture of—well, now, who could it possibly be but Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell? The picture was snapped on the Fox lot where the two of them are making "Delicious." Janet plays a down-trodden bit of a Scotch lassie in this film. Charlie plays a handsome millionaire. Janet and Lydell Peck, Charlie and Virginia Valli have started a new beach colony above Malibu. Janet's going to take a vacation in Honolulu after "Delicious" and Charlie will start work on "The Devil's Lottery."

Maybe if I smoke Luckies I’ll be a famous movie star too, or maybe an usher in a movie theater, or maybe be **cough cough** dead.
