Shelly talks about The Donna Reed Show


John Cato has a heartwarming and candid interview with Shelly Fabres for his That’s Classic! podcast. 


Shelley talks with John about her close relationship with her aunt, Nanette Fabray, what Donna Reed was like offset, going to school on set with Paul Petersen, and their bizarre graduation from University School without ever attending it! Shelley also chats about being very shy in real life and how scary it was to deal with the intensity of Tony Owens, Donna Reed's husband when she was almost forced to sing "Johnny Angel." She also talks about when she wanted to leave the show.


John Cato has been an actor, voiceover artist, and moderator for over 20 years in the television and movie industry. John's background brings a unique insight and passion to the podcast.
