The I Dream of Jeannie actress described Shelley as someone who “truly was a sweet, good girl.”
“In the acting world you never know what type of people your fellow castmates may be when you start a project,” Barbara wrote. “It’s always a treat when you find yourself among good, happy people. Us girls all shared a little bungalow on Oahu together and it was more fun than work! The whole group of us were having a ball!”
She also expressed her condolences to Shelley’s husband, Mike Farrell.
“Shelley was a darling woman, a lovely actress and a wonderful singer,” Barbara concluded.
