Yvonne Fedderson (born Yvonne Glee Lime;
April 7, 1935) is an American philanthropist and retired actress. She was
married to producer Don Fedderson. She appeared on screen from 1956-68.
Thereafter, she devoted much of her time to philanthropy. After high school, Lime attended the Pasadena Playhouse, where her performance in a
production of Thornton Wilder's Ah,
Wilderness! attracted the attention of an agent. This landed her
into the recurring part of Dottie Snow on twelve episodes of Robert Young's situation
comedy, Father Knows Best. She played a friend of
the Betty Anderson character, portrayed by Elinor
Donahue. In 1957, she was cast in films, in
an uncredited part as "Sally" in Elvis Presley's
Loving You and in Michael
Landon's I Was a Teenage Werewolf, and with top
billing in 1958's Dragstrip Riot. She and Don Fedderson had a
daughter, Dionne Fedderson; he had seven children from two previous marriages.
Don Fedderson produced three popular television
series, The Millionaire, My Three Sons,
and Family Affair. After she married Fedderson, Lime
left acting to concentrate her time to philanthropy. In the 1950s, she had
entertained American troops stationed in Japan. Fedderson and
fellow actress, Sara Buckner O'Meara, who met on the set of The Adventures
of Ozzie and Harriet, in which they were both guest stars, launched
International Orphans Inc., a charity which built and maintained four
orphanages in Japan and five orphanages, a hospital, and a school in Vietnam.
Fedderson and O'Meara later devoted their efforts to assist neglected children
in the United States and renamed their group, Childhelp,
an organization based in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The two were also involved in Operation Babylift at the time of the United
States evacuation of the former South Vietnam. From 1960 to 1961, Yvonne Lime had a
co-starring role as Sally Day in the 16-episode NBC sitcom, Happy, in which she and Ronnie Burns, the late adopted son of George Burns
and Gracie Allen,
played owners of a motel in southern California who have a talking baby called
"Happy." Lloyd Corrigan and Doris Packer
were regulars on the series, which began as a summer replacement in 1960 for The Perry Como Show and thereafter in 1961
for several episodes on the regular NBC schedule.[4] She had also appeared in varying
roles from 1956 to 1958 in eleven episodes of The George Burns and Gracie Allen
Show. Lime's first television appearance
was on her future husband's The Millionaire as the character
"Eileen" in "The Story of Joy Costello." She appeared in
1956 as Mary Lou Carter in the episode, "The Select Females," of the CBS/Desilu
series, The Adventures of Jim Bowie starring Scott Forbes.
In 1957, she portrayed Gloria Binks in the Hardy Boys
serial, The Mystery of the Ghost Farm. That same year she played a
character "Mary" in "A Coney Island Wedding" on the ABC series about the clergy, Crossroads. In 1958, she played
"Iris" on "Ladies' Aide", an episode of Jackie Cooper's
The People's Choice,
which features a talking basset hound, the premise which led two years
later to the child "Happy."
From 1959 to 1961, she appeared
twice each on two CBS sitcoms, Dwayne
Hickman's The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis
and Frank Aletter's
Bringing Up Buddy. Lime also was cast in
episodes of NBC's Wichita Town and Bat Masterson, and on CBS's Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. Her last acting
role was on My Three Sons as "Linda" in the 1968 episode
"The Grandfathers”
