Born Sharon Forsmoe on Christmas Eve 1940 to Hazel Ruth (née Huffman) and Darrel LaValle Forsmoe in Sioux City, Iowa, she was of Norwegian descent and was raised with her sister, Dale Candice, in a Lutheran family. During her childhood, Farrell studied ballet and was involved in the theater department during high school. Farrell toured with the American Ballet Theatre Company as a dancer, which brought her to New York City.

Farrell made her acting debut at age 18 in the 1959 film Kiss Her Goodbye. She took her stage name from combining her surname and her father's given name Darrel, with "F" for Forsmoe and two "L"s. From the 1960s to the 1980s, Farrell appeared in such films as The Reivers (1969), Marlowe (1969), It's Alive (1974), The Stunt Man (1980), Out of the Blue (1980), Night of the Comet (1984), and Can't Buy Me Love (1987). In addition to film work, Farrell also appeared in guest roles on various television shows, including Death Valley Days, Gunsmoke, The Wild Wild West, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., I Dream of Jeannie, My Favorite Martian, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, and Hawaii Five-O. In 1991, she joined the cast of the long-running soap opera The Young and the Restless, remaining with the show until 1997. Farrell's last television role was in a 1999 episode of JAG. Between 2013 and 2014, Farrell appeared in the web series Broken at Love, marking her first on-screen appearance in 14 years.

Farrell's first marriage was to actor Andrew Prine in 1962. They later divorced, reportedly after only living together for one month and ten days. Farrell had one son, Chance Boyer, born when she was dating actor John F. Boyer. After Chance's birth in 1970, Farrell suffered an embolism that caused her heart to stop beating for four minutes. She incurred serious brain damage that resulted in memory loss and physical impairments. With the help of colleagues, Farrell worked to regain her abilities including her memory. She resumed her acting career, but for many years kept her illness a secret under the advice of friend and actor Steve McQueen who warned her that, if word got out, her career would be over. Farrell was married to director Dale Trevillian for 32 years. In her autobiography Sharon Farrell: "Hollywood Princess" from Sioux City, Iowa, she claimed that she had romantic relationships with many famous people, including Che Guevara, Steve McQueen, and Bruce Lee. Unreported until 5 August 2023, Farrell died on 15 May 2023, at the age of 82, possibly in Orange County, California, or Los Angeles Downtown Medical Center.
