Personal life


Farrell's first marriage was to actor Andrew Prine in 1962. They later divorced reportedly after only living together for one month and ten days.
Farrell had one son, Chance Boyer, born when she was dating actor John F. Boyer. After Chance's birth in 1970, Farrell suffered an embolism which caused her heart to stop beating for four minutes. She ended up with serious brain damage that resulted in memory loss and physical impairments. With the help of colleagues, Farrell worked to regain her abilities, including her memory, and resumed her acting career, yet she kept her illness a secret under the advice of friend and actor Steve McQueen, who warned her that if word of her illness got out, her career would be over. Keeping her illness hidden, Farrell worked steadily for decades.
Farrell was also married to director Dale Trevillian. In her biography Sharon Farrell Hollywood Princess from Sioux City, Iowa, she claimed she had romantic relationships with many famous people, including Che Guevara, Steve McQueen and Bruce Lee.
Unreported until 5 August 2023, Farrell died on 15 May 2023, at the age of 82, possibly in Orange County, California, or Los Angeles Downtown Medical Center
