Yeah, good point.
Farrah was actually in several movies, the last of which , Robert Duvall’s THE APOSTLE, I think of as one of the very best American movies of the 90s. She did one of the Burt Reynolds goodtime movies, and one I really like immediately post Charlie’sAngels, called “Somebody killed her husband”.
That was from 1978, and for the first time,showed she really could act.
Also, EXTREMITIES, from a well-known stage play, and a few TV movies like THE BURNING BED, and SMALL SACRIFICES, which were so well done, they put ‘feature films’ to shame, and where her acting was positively outstanding.
She was unfortunately also troubled and strung-out seeming
in her final years, even before being diagnosed with cancer,
and, as I see it, married to the wrong man, Ryan O’Neal.

I agree. I was bowled over by her performances in both “Burning Bed” and “Extremities”. She didn’t hold anything back at all, and was very, very believable in both roles.
