Annie Fargé (15 April 1934 – 4 March 2011)[2] was a French actress who worked for a few years on U.S. television and was named "most promising new star in a situation comedy" in 1961[3] when she played the title role in CBS's Angel.
The couple had a daughter, Leslie Tabuteau, who was born shortly before Angel began filming in April 1960 and eventually became a French TV producer.
[citation needed] She was signed for the Angel role by producer Jess Oppenheimer on the basis of CBS executive Robert Lewine's recommendation.
After Angel folded due to low ratings, Fargé appeared as a guest star in a few other series, including The Rifleman, as Jennifer Morrison, and Adventures in Paradise.
Her last television appearance was in a 1964 episode of Perry Mason, "The Case of the Betrayed Bride", as she played the role of defendant Marie Claudel.
