Farrah Fawcett, a Charlie’s Angel and pinup phenom, has died
Farrah Fawcett, she of the wild mop of long blonde curls and a record-breaking bathing suit poster, died this afternoon after a long battle with anal cancer.
Ms. Fawcett first shot to fame in 1976 in the debut season of Charlie’s Angels. Costars Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson (both of whom have survived breast cancer) starred as beautiful, tough private eyes. Fawcett left after just one season to star in mostly forgettable films but stayed in the public eye because of her high-profile marriage and divorce to actor Lee Majors, followed by her high-profile, high-maintenance relationship with Ryan O’Neal and the ongoing legal troubles of their son, Redmond, which landed him back in jail earlier this year.
In 2007, at her initiative, Ms. Fawcett filmed her final medical journey in a moving TV documentary, Farrah’s Story, which told of her struggle with cancer. It aired last month and was seen by millions of viewers.
When she died, O’Neal was by her side, having released a statement just 2 days ago, that Ms. Fawcett had agreed to marry him.
Ms. Fawcett was 62.

How sad.... Hope none of you want to watch the 70's "Charlie's Angels" because it's out on DVD, but AADL, who have SUCH a massive DVD collection (Riiiight), doesn't have it and guess what?....Bonus !.....They've decided you can't borrow it from any other library anymore either......That's YOUR tax dollars at work, folks !....A big "Suck it up" from the AADL to you.
