He was born Charles Farrell Myers in California, and grew up in Chowchilla, California. Under the name "Charles H Myer", he wrote the "Toffee" short stories.

With Lukas Heller, he co-wrote the screenplay for ''Hush… Hush, Sweet Charlotte'' (1964), starring Davis and Olivia de Havilland. It was based on a story he wrote entitled ''Whatever Happened to Cousin Charlotte?'', and the script earned Heller and Farrell a 1965 Edgar Award, from the Mystery Writers of America, for Best Motion Picture Screenplay. He wrote the original screenplay for ''What's the Matter with Helen?'' (1971), which starred Debbie Reynolds and Shelley Winters. His wife was actress Molly Dodd, who died in 1981.
