Farrah Fawcett dead
http://www.people.com/people/article...240288,00.html
Farrah Fawcett Dies of Cancer at 62 Farrah Fawcett, who skyrocketed to fame as one of a trio of impossibly glamorous private eyes on TV's Charlie's Angels, has died after a long battle with cancer. She was 62. Fawcett died at 9:28 a.m. PST at St. John’s Heath Center in Santa Monica, Calif. She had recently returned to St. John's for treatment of complications from anal cancer, first diagnosed three years ago. Her longtime partner Ryan O'Neal was at her side throughout her final days. Like so much about Fawcett's life – including her bumpy relationship with O'Neal – her heroic struggle to beat the disease was closely followed by her legion of fans. "I've watched her this past year fight with such courage and so valiantly, but with such humor," Fawcett's Charlie's Angels costar Kate Jackson told PEOPLE in November 2007. O'Neal, in particular, remained a steadfast supporter of Fawcett, who, despite her frailty, spent the last months of her life filming a TV documentary chronicling her illness, including several trips to Germany to undergo experimental treatment. Fawcett is survived by her son with O'Neal, Redmond, 24, who is currently serving a prison term in California after repeated drug offenses. Last edited by Hammock Parties; 06-25-2009 at 10:55 AM.. |

I read a story once about how the whole jiggle TV thing worked on Charlie's Angels. It was kind of funny. The director or writer would build in these opportunities for jiggling, and Kate Jackson and Farrah would be indignant about it and say it was demeaning and fight it every step of the way, and Jaclyn Smith would be all, "You want me to bounce like this? How about if I bend over first? Is that good? Everything okay?"

Seriously, this event marks the end of my youth. More than my 40th birthday, more than losing my hair, more than having to get that test at the doctor's office a few years back.
Farrah is gone. I am no longer young.

Safe home, lady. I guess God needed a teen-age masturbation icon in heaven...

I'll feel the same way when Jacqueline Bisset buys it. I still think she'll marry me one day.

a lot of people thought she was just fluff, but the work she did in The Burning Bed was just awesome

Rest easy Farrah, you will be fondly remembered by many. Maybe to much personal information to share on the net with strangers but this is the Planet where most people are just strange, but she was a distant relative ... when I was in the service I was often asked if Farrah was my sister.

Thinking back, I'm pretty sure it was Farrah and not Cheryl Ladd in the story. I could be wrong, though. I just remember that Jaclyn was the only one was amenable, and she was very amenable.

I present this in the fervent hope that it will assuage your bereavement. Kind in mind, however, that she is mine and I'll kill you if you try to take her from me:
