This has been a painful loss, but we will always have the beauty of her memory. Rest in peace, Nurse Able.”
In addition to MAS*H, Farrell also appeared in Judd For The Defense, Get Smart, The Interns, Medical Center, The Rookies, Emergency!, and The Partridge Family throughout the ’60s and ’70s. In the ’80s she had guest roles on Benson and Fame. Her most recent role was in the 2006 comedy film Long-Term Relationship.
