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. Johns 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.

POST 82, THIS THREAD, FREEPER HISTORY IN THE MAKING. WOW.
This is heartbreaking. In the ‘70’s she was my fantasy girl, as she was to every red-blooded guy.
No one mentioned her in Saturn Five. She co-starred with Kirk Douglas and Harvey Kietel in a somewhat cheesy Sci-fi. He brief topless moment was the only reason I watched that movie. Kirk Douglas smiled knowingly (and probably out of character) at eh beginning of the scene. Farrah pulled it off with class. (no pun intended)
Earlier this week, Ryan said he’d asked her to marry him yet again, and she said “Yes.”
It’s too bad she passed away without marrying him.
She was a very lovely woman, and she will be missed.
I had read your reply earlier in the day. Then when I was driving home from work, listening to the radio, and heard the news, I thought about your prediction.
Jacko: Wanted to touch boys. Farrah: Boys and Men wanted to touch her.
All my 70 icons are passing away. May farrah find peace in the arms of God’s angels.
She fought with bravery, class, and faith.
May God have mercy on her Soul, forgive her of her sins, and may she have true peace.
Prayers for those she loved in this most difficult time.
Yes. This news broke my heart, too, PL!
I bought the CLASSIC poster of her at Six Flags
over Texas in the 70’s and had it for years.
Lost it somewhere along the way, unfortunately. :(

Late ping to my General Interest list! (And a
few other nice folks as well). :)
THIS poster is the one I had, of course!She was an Angel then, and is truly an Angel as of today.
ping to 82. WOW
RIP Farrah.
Farrah was hot, but the hottest “Angel” was Jaclyn Smith! Even now she blows away 90% of the ‘hotties” out there! Hell, I’ve even watched her goofy hair cutting show. Cheryl Ladd a THISCLOSE second, Farrah third.
I know I was at work after I predicted it. At work an old friend sent the FWD text message that Michael Jackson died.I was busy as can be at work freaked a little bit.It is eery. LOL I have been known to see things before they happened, in life no crap. I want to go back and see the time I said this in EST.
Tell me about it. I freaked when I heard he did die so soon after I predicted it.I was at work and paused during pet surgery and breathing tubes. I could not think about it until I got home I was so busy.
R.I.P. Farrah, R.I.P. MJ.
“it does happen in threes. my bet is Michael Jackson.”
You called that dead on!!!!!! Jackson hadn’t had the heart attack at the time you offered that prediction. Premonition of the Week award goes to you!
So how’s the GOP going to do in the 2010 elections, and will Sarah Palin be our President come Jan. 2013?
I'm sorry to hear that. Prayers up for your comfort and healing.
After I watched her movie on TV I couldn’t stop thinking about her and that was many weeks ago.
[Yes. This news broke my heart, too, PL!

I wish you still had your poster Meek. Sad she died so young and we all liked her.
