Farrah Fawcett Dies of Cancer at 62

Farrah Fawcett, who skyrocketed to fame as one of a trio of impossibly glamorous private eyes on TV's Charlie's Angels, has died after a long battle with cancer. She was 62.

Fawcett died at 9:28 a.m. PST at St. John’s Heath Center in Santa Monica, Calif. She had recently returned to St. John's for treatment of complications from anal cancer, first diagnosed three years ago. Her longtime partner Ryan O'Neal was at her side throughout her final days.

Like so much about Fawcett's life – including her bumpy relationship with O'Neal – her heroic struggle to beat the disease was closely followed by her legion of fans.

Poor lady. May God comfort her family with the knowledge that she’s in Heaven, young and beautiful and strong again.

it does happen in threes. my bet is Michael Jackson.

Incredible. You called it two hours before he was stricken.
I know, it was just a guess, but eerie nonetheless.

My God, the perfect speciman!” She was too. She was a “ten” before Bo Derek made it popular.

They seemed to think the same thing back in her high school days.

I never cared for her and believed her to be an air head but that movie showed her to be capable of great things. Having lost my beloved wife to cancer I know the hell she went through. Very sad.

I don't care how old you are, it's still a tough thing to bury your child.

Sadly, he's had to bury two. I read that her older sister also died a few years ago from some form of cancer.

I think you just broke the record for most replies to a post that wasn’t the first post of a thread.

God rest her, and forgive her and have mercy on her. Please allow Miss Fawcett into Your Kingdom.

At least this woman didn’t have persistent scandal around her.
