Sad. Ryan suffers from the same disease my dad had before he pasted away.
I heard that Ryan O’Neal kept her hair. That true? That’s pretty ghoulish.
Bad temperitis?
Prayers with Ms Fawcett and her family.
Now, if he makes a wig out of it....
She has had a rough few years and if now is the end of it, I wish her peace. What I simply don’t understand is why she and her “longtime partner” never married.

Depends on how much. A small lock of hair I have always thought of as a sentimental keepsake. But I am no expert on these things. Does that make me ghoulish?
People keep hair from their children’s first haircuts and romantic literature is filled with stories of loved ones carrying a lock of their beloved’s hair in a locket, silk purse, or somewhere else.
Where have you been?
Prayers
No. Doesn’t anyone read literature? Carrying a lock of of hair of one’s beloved has been done since, well, at least since people have been around I’d say. I have a lock of hair from my son’s first haircut and he’s 31. I also have one of his baby teeth.
Yes. Prayers. Especially for her son who will need them since he’s having other problems.
Well, on the other hand, think of the other stars from her era who got married. Those have *almost all* split.
...more prayers sent
For one thing she hasn’t died yet and as others have explained, it was customary at one time for people to keep locks of hair, most people just don’t carry on the old traditions anymore. I have my husband’s pony tail that he cut off when he had chemo for kidney cancer after having his kidney removed...he is 15 years in remission...I framed it. He had long hair when I met him, so it was just a sentimental thing.
Never declare me “cancer-free”. Gilda Radner, Farah Fawcett, my mom...
Cancer in remission somewhere on my body maybe, not “free”. Just bringing on the jinx.
We know two couples that are both long-time partners that will never marry.
One could has been together 18 years and she would lose nearly 250K/yr in alimony if she married. Oddly enough her partner is quite wealthy himself. At first, we thought that her ex, who left her for a younger woman, had really ticked her off.
Then we learned that she was a visitor to the emergency room nearly every other month with injuries from "fall(s)".
Another couple, who's spouses both died and they meet during hospital visits, will never marry because their children, both his and hers, raised such a stink over the prospect of losing their inheritance(s) to "that golddigger who is only after our, um, your money."
