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.

While all the guys had her poster pinned to their walls, all us girls tried to imitate her hairstyle.
Rest in Peace.............
They’re two different things - I believe.

"Warner Bros.
Fawcett starred in the 1989 family drama "See You in the Morning," with Jeff Bridges, Macaulay Culkin and Heather Lilly."
I can imagine the looks on her loved ones faces and the mixed emotions of sadness and happiness.
When my father died of the same fight (with family at side) it was the first time I saw my mother smile in years. She was sad to loose him, but truly happy that he was not hurting anymore and in the hands of the Lord.
R.I.P., thank you for the memories
I wondered the same. When I saw Breaking News that she had died I wondered if they had remarried as they had planned.
Rest in peace, Farrah.
Very sad. She was an icon, definitely. RIP, Farrah.
