Farrar later admitted, "I'd always been the upstanding young man and I was afraid of the parts that were being hinted at for uncles or for the girl's father instead of her lover! I just felt 'the hell with it all' and walked out into the sunset." Personal life Farrar and Irene emigrated to Amanzimtoti, South Africa, in January 1970 to be closer to their daughter, Barbara.
