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.

RIP
Ahh, thank you, I didn't remember that and I did read an article that mistakenly said she was a convert.
She went to the University of Texas, as I did. When she joined the sorority they said the line of college boys, waiting to meet her, went waaaay around the block. She was a beauty.
Good grief. No wonder people think Christians are such judgmental bores. This woman never harmed anyone and has died after fighting a disease no one would want. Can we have some Christian “charity?”
I remember Freepers speaking well of Molly Ivins after she died. Five minutes before her death, they’d have hated her guts. Can we at least pray for Farrah, and let God handle the rest?
RIP Farrah.
Back in about’77 a friend and I went to a Dinah Shore tennis tournament just to get a glimpse of this gorgeous lady.
(Of course I had the poster, duh I’m a guy)
Every girl who grew up in the 70’s and 80’s tried so hard to get that hair. I’m guilty...
She was indeed an all-American beauty, and she seemed a genuinely decent human being. May she rest in peace.
Small Sacrifices
Just reportedly rushed to the hospital with a heart attack.
Do you know that when you posted this?
Can you tell me who will win the World Series?
She’s a real angel now.
Into the arms of Jesus.
Cronkite’s not doing too well either. That’ll be a raucous thread, lots of folks remember how he declared the Vietnam war “Lost”.
You’re prescient.
ZOWIE!
Don't I know it! Got married in 1979 and had the Farrah-hair thing going on....got the pictures to prove it!
Mrs. PoS
I was just getting on to ask the SAME QUESTION???
WOW... That is BIZARRE!
I agree with you. The ugliness and hate on threads has been awful. Why is it OK to say terrible things about people and then when they die everyone suddenly becomes pious? I bite my tongue and try to stay away from those threads.
God judges us on how we live each day - each day.
I think we all liked Farrah and it is for God to judge us all. Now Michael Jackson has just had a major heart attack and they are running him down on a thread.
