Ditto. Great minds think alike:-)
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.
They say MJ was included because he was the subject of a documentary last year. They can’t admit they are wrong. They include people no one has heard of (including, IIRC, publicists). BTW, Bea Arthur was in movies too (well at least one that I know of). They need to decide who they want to show.
The only thing I can guess is that his song "Ben" was nominated for Best Song. Being nominated elevates one a bit.
