When she was a year old, she and her father and grandmother moved to Charlotte, North Carolina. She appeared in 70 films and television shows between 1929 and 1995.
After a divorce, nervous breakdown, and stunning emotional recovery, Fellows was featured on the Ralph Edwards TV show This Is Your Life in the 1950s. Fellows began acting again in character roles in the 1960s. In 1983, she portrayed costumer designer Edith Head in a television film on the life of actress Grace Kelly. In 1985, producer/director Jackie Cooper, himself a former child actor who preceded Fellows in death by only a few weeks, announced plans to film a television movie on her life, but the project never came to fruition.[2]
Fellows died of natural causes at the Motion Picture Country Home in Woodland Hills, California on June 26, 2011.[3]
