Farrah Fawcett Dies of Cancer at 62
people ^ | 06.25.09

Posted on 06/25/2009 9:51:35 AM PDT by Perdogg

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.

You spent more time typing that post than most other posters in this thread spent typing “R.I.P.”

Prayers up for Farrah and Ryan.

Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

It’s more often referred to rectal cancer. It is not the same as colon cancer. My best friend is suffering through this cancer. It’s a more serious type of cancer. The cure rate is lower, the recurrence rate is higher.

Two people who seemingly had the world at their feet, and both struggled immensely. RIP Farrah.

She was not only beautiful....but a very good actress. I always hoped she made more movies like this one:

I knew I would find evidence of your "faith" in your posts!

Such charity and grace. It makes my heart glad.

“Never heard of Anal Cancer before, could it be caused by a lifestyle choice?”

No, “genius”, it isn’t.

I did...and you're right, not even close!

Didn't stop me from gathering up every magazine pic of her I could find and hauling them off with me to the hairdresser, though! ;^)

God did some mighty fine work when He created
Farah Fawcett.

She had the most beautiful and genuine smile.
I always wanted her hair, but my wimpy locks
wouldn’t cooperate.

I hope my question isn’t perceived as insentive,
but I can’t help thinking that her risk profile
for anal cancer doesn’t make sense unless extreme
weight loss techniques were factors. Does anyone
know if diuretics and enemas can cause anal cancer?

It is also sad that so much attention is given to one person over a poster. It is sad how shallow we are.

I would say that Farrah Fawcett went WAY BEYOND a poster.

Most of their hardships are self-induced and I am supposed to grieve over that?

Her's were not.

Never heard of Anal Cancer before, could it be caused by a lifestyle choice?

Nope.
