Yvonne Fedderson (born Yvonne Glee Lime; April 7, 1935) is a former American actress who was married to the late producer Don Fedderson. She appeared on screen from 1956 to 1968. Thereafter, she devoted much of her time to philanthropy, working to alleviate the plight of orphans worldwide and neglected children in the United States.
She was born Yvonne Glee Lime in Glendale, California, the daughter of a music teacher who encouraged her to become an actress. She graduated in 1953 from Glendale High School, having obtained a special permit to attend there, rather than the otherwise assigned Hoover High School. Lime recalls her years at Glendale High School with jubilation:
Growing up in the '40s and '50s was great! You felt safe in school, and looked forward to every day. Seeing your friends each day, getting an education, and planning for the future were adventures we welcomed. Our dances and social events were fun, and our parents never had to worry about our using drugs, or having someone going crazy with a gun and shooting a group of us. ... My years at Glendale High were a time of ponytails and poodle skirts for the girls, and crew cuts and hot rods for the boys. A girl dreamed of "going steady" with a guy, especially if he had a letterman sweater that she could wear. Everyone looked forward to the semester breaks, and Easter vacation week was always a time to go to Balboa Island with your friends. ...
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.
