Myrna Fahey

 Myrna Fahey (March 12, 1933 – May 6, 1973)

She was an actress best known for her role as Maria Crespo in Walt Disney's Zorro and as Madeline Usher in the film version of Edgar Allan Poe's, The Fall of the House of Usher. She appeared in episodes of 37 television series from the 1950's into the 197'0s, including Bonanza, Wagon Train, Straightaway, The Time Tunnel, Maverick (as Susie in the episode titled "Duel at Sundown" with James Garner and Clint Eastwood) and (as Dee Cooper in the episode titled “A Flock of Trouble”), 77 Sunset Strip, Laramie, Gunsmoke, The Adventures of Superman, Kraft Suspense Theatre, Daniel Boone, Perry Mason, and Batman. Fahey's most sustained television work was a starring role in the one-season (1961–62) series Father of the Bride, based on a film of the same name. Supposedly, she gained this role due to her resemblance to Elizabeth Taylor, who appeared in the film version. She became the subject of death threats while dating baseball great Joe DiMaggio in 1964. The FBI determined the threats came from a patient at the Agnews Developmental Center, a mental hospital in San Jose, California. Apparently the patient could not bear to see DiMaggio with anyone other than Marilyn Monroe. She died on May 6, 1973, at age 40 at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, California, after a long battle with cancer. She is buried at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Bangor, Maine.
