Sadly, not a lot. It's also not so surprising that few have heard of "Angel," as the series only lasted one season.

Post-"Angel," Farge didn't land a single role that lasted more than one episode. These roles included such charming stereotypes as the tempting French maid (in a 1964 "Perry Mason" episode) and a foreign princess under cover (in a 1962 episode of "The Rifleman") -- apparently things were tough on American TV for a young foreign actress.

And so her entire screen career has come to be defined by "Angel."

The series was based on a French woman's troubles adjusting after marrying an American and moving to the United States. French actress Farge, whose only previous acting work on this continent was as a Broadway understudy, landed the part because the producer, Jess Oppenheimer -- still riding the wave of success from his previous sitcom, "I Love Lucy" -- felt that the accent couldn't be faked well enough to work.

Oppenheimer said at the time that realism was central for him. "In most situation comedies, there comes a point where one sacrifices logic for something funny," he told California's "Modesto Bee" newspaper shortly before the pilot aired. "I'm trying to get away from that and put the premise on a little more realistic basis."
