Personal life and death
Farrell's first marriage was to actor Andrew Prine[7] in 1962. They later divorced, reportedly after only living together for one month and ten days.[8]
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 that caused her heart to stop beating for four minutes. She incurred 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. She resumed her acting career, but for many years kept her illness a secret under the advice of friend and actor Steve McQueen who warned her that, if word got out, her career would be over.[7]Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Footnotes/anchor_id_list' not found.
Farrell was married to director Dale Trevillian for 32 years.[7] In her autobiography Sharon Farrell: "Hollywood Princess" from Sioux City, Iowa, she claimed that she had romantic relationships with many famous people, including Che Guevara, Steve McQueen, and Bruce Lee.[9]
Unreported until 5 August 2023, Farrell died on 15 May 2023, at the age of 82, possibly in Orange County, California,[10] or Los Angeles Downtown Medical Center.[11]
