Farrah Fawcett Cancer Surgery By Staff Oct 5, 2006
Farrah Fawcett has undergone surgery to treat cancer. The 59-year-old star of the original 'Charlie's Angels' TV series appeared to be glowing with health at the Emmy awards five weeks ago but has since had an operation to remove a tumour from her lower intestine. The tumour has been described as "the size of two strawberries" and she now faces a gruelling course of chemotherapy treatment to overcome the potentially fatal disease.

That's not current. I saw her on that reality show "Chasing Farrah" and she's a bit more drawn... I'd imagine cancer and chemo and rad will do a job on her.
Someone at gunpoint forced the poster you responded to click on the thread.
59??? That makes me feel old...
That's not a current picture. Farrah was one beautiful lady back in the 70s but she's had one too many face lifts.
