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.. |

In 1969, Larry Hagman and Jessical Walker played spouses in the movie, "Three's A Crowd", about "An airline pilot tries to balance two wives he has in two separate cities."
A young scene-stealing hitchhiker in the movie was a woman named, you guessed it, Farrah Fawcett.

With her star rising fast, and possibly related to her work with Larry Hagman in the previous movie, she then appeared on two episodes of "I Dream of Jeannie". (Wow! A young Barbara Eden and a young Farrah Fawcett on the same set? Wow!)
In "My Sister the Home Wrecker", Jeannie's sister shows up and makes Tony and Jeannie's friends think that she is having an affair. No word on if Farrah played Jeannie's sister. Her character's name was Tina, though, so this might have been a good speaking role for her. In "See You in C-U-B-A", After blinking Tony away from a mission, Jeannie returns him to his plane which she lands in Cuba instead of Puerto Rico. I don't see Farrah playing a Cuban and her character was Cindy, so I'd love to know more about her role.

In order to keep the lovely Farrah above the pedophile, and give her the proper time in the limelight she deserved before being upstaged, I vote that the Mods make this thread a Sticky.
After all.... Farrah made us all sticky as kids, it's only fair to return the favor. ![]() |

Good work, people. Good work.
In 1969 and 1970, Farrah appeared in two episodes of "The Flying Nun". (I thought that was an earlier series, mid-60s. Farrah has taught me something.) In 1969: When Marcello describes the sisters to others as "guys", they think that he needs a fatherly male influence in his life. When questioned, Marcello chooses Carlos. Sister Bertrille in turn talks Carlos into being Marcello's surrogate father on occasion. But Carlos' memory fades quickly when he chooses to spend the day with beautiful Lila rather than keep his appointment to go sailing with Marcello. But unbeknownst to Sister Bertrille, Carlos does takes Marcello out on the boat as primary crew, while Carlos spends most of the time pampering Lila below deck. Despite Marcello having a good time and hoping Carlos will adopt him, Sister Bertrille fires Carlos as surrogate father. When Marcello finds out that Carlos needs to be married to adopt him, he takes matters into his own hands and places a newspaper ad looking for a wife for Carlos and a mother for himself. Despite having no money for an ad, the newspaper man decides it would be a good human interest story and places it on the front page. Droves of women descend on the casino and Carlos has to make a quick escape, Marcello in tow. Carlos and Marcello clear the air with each other and define the nature of their relationship. Farrah played Lila, the love interest. I'm sure it wasn't her intent to destroy the father-son thing. Carlos donates a pool table to the convent. Sister Bertrille thinks it would be a good pastime for convent orphan Armando to partake as his current diversions are wild flights of fancy. Initially reluctant to learn, Armando takes to the game once he witnesses the amazing abilities of Emilio Gomez, who ends up being his teacher. Armando's a natural, however this new diversion, as was his old diversions, takes over his life to the expense of his school work. The Reverend Mother orders the pool table gone. Sister Bertrille figures that taking the pool table away will only make Armando more in love with the game, so she reckons what Armando needs is to be shown up. They find the best pool player in San Tanco to take on Armando, that being Carlos. Armando is confident he can beat Carlos and he does start off well, but after Armando scratches, Carlos cleans the table. To put more pressure on Armando, Sister Bertrille orders a rematch and feigns betting big money on Armando to the tune of $5,000. Armando, not wanting to disappoint the sisters, goes through with the game, but the unexpected arrival of the Reverend Mother is just what everyone needs: she stops the game and Armando breaks down in tears, not wanting to play pool anymore. In the words of the Reverend Mother, Sister Bertrille's motives were good, but her execution leaves a little to be desired. Farrah played "Miss Preem" in this episode, but I'm not sure what she did. Sounds like she wasn't a nun.
