Shelley talks with John about her close relationship with her aunt, Nanette Fabray, what Donna Reed was like off set and how she introduced Shelley to so much, 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 almost forced to sing "Johnny Angel" and when she wanted to leave the show. The incredible singing career she had but couldn't sing and so much more!

Don't miss the second episode with Shelley where we discuss COACH, Brian's Song, The Brian Keith Show and falling in love with Mike Farrell!
