Nanette Fabray and Shelly Fabares are indeed aunt and neice!
Reason for different spelling of last name--Shelly's aunt, Nanette,
was concerned about pronunciation problems and chose `Fabray'.
She suggested Shelly do the same, but Shelly opted for the family
spelling of `Fabares' (pronounced Fah-bear-ay).
I luuuuuuuuuuuv Shelly Fabares.

Nanette is Shelly's aunt. Nanette changed the spelling of her name.

Even though they spell their last names differently, Nanette is, indeed,
Shelly's aunt.

Other people have posted that information, but so far no one whose article
has reached here has gotten the niece's first name right.
By the way, the version I heard holds that Nanette was never fond of going
by the simplified spelling and has always been perfectly happy that Shelley
stuck with the actual family name.

I believe their names are spelled differently - Nanette Fabray and
Shelley Fabres. Are they related?

My heart lifted up with the great grasses;
The weeds believed me, and the nesting birds.
There were clouds making a rout of shapes crossing a windbreak
of cedars,
And a bee shaking drops from a rain-soaked honeysuckle.
The worms were delighted as wrens.
And I walked, I walked through the light air;
I moved with the morning. ("A Field of Light," Roethke)
: Yes, Janet Brown is correct. they are Aunt and neice. Nanette changed
: the spelling of her name to "Americanize" it and make it easier for
: the public to pronounce. Shelley's name is Fabares (pronounced fab-a-ray').
: I think I got this information from an extremely reliable source (probably
: something like a Ladies' Home Journal or Redbook or something :)).
Americanize? What country does Nanette (or her surname) come from?

How about letting us know your userid UNKNOWN; Rif these aren't Apple's
thoughts, who's are they and why is this so improtant to you?
Did you ever think that _maybe_ the word 'unknown' *was* his user
id? If he didn't want his name/id to be known, his name wouldn't
show up. Matt has a *great* point. If I'm reading the
attributes correctly, the last poster before Matt said exactly
the same thing that you did, and she even quoted the part where
you _wrote_ they were aunt and niece.
