Doing her best to manage a smile, a frail Farrah Fawcett arrives home in Los Angeles after cancer treatment in Germany. The 62-year-old actress has been battling intestinal cancer for two years, at one time being given the all-clear. But the 'terrorist' inside her body, as she calls it, has returned with a vengeance.

She has been flying to and from Frankfurt for 18 months, where she is said to be having experimental stem cell therapy, unavailable in the U.S. Over the last few months, Miss Fawcett has been based at home in Burbank, California, where her on-off partner Ryan O' Neal, 67, has been helping to care for her. The couple have a 24-year-old son, Redmond.

“But the ‘terrorist’ inside her body, as she calls it...”

The poster launced SOMETHING across college dorm rooms that’s for sure.
