LOS ANGELES (AP) - Farrah Fawcett, whose stunning looks and
blinding smile made her a pop icon of the 1970s, has died. She was
62.
Her spokesman, Paul Bloch, says Fawcett died Thursday morning in
a Santa Monica hospital. Her 2½-year battle with cancer was
depicted in the TV documentary "Farrah's Story."
She burst on the scene in 1976 as one-third of the
crime-fighting trio in TV's "Charlie's Angeles." A poster of her
in a clingy swimsuit sold in the millions.
She left the show after one season but had a flop on the big
screen with "Somebody Killed Her Husband." She turned to more
serious roles in the 1980s and 1990s, winning praise playing an
abused wife in "The Burning Bed."

I hope that she has found peace. Her entire life has been in the spotlight and now she is in the light. A true Angel has left us.

It is sad that her death is being over shadowed by Michael Jackson, I will miss her a whole lot more than i would ever miss him. But then on the other hand it is probably a good thing for her family that the photographers are leaving them alone! May she rest in peace.

She fought a tough battle and lost and that is a shame, she was a brave woman. As far as Ryan, I think she had her reasons for not marrying him, more than we will ever know. He was a great friend to her but I believe that was all it was. God Bless

It is so sad to see her go. She was a brave woman and she seemed to fight all the way to the end. I hate that she and Ryan did not get to say their I’Do’s. I really think they should have done that many years ago.

My ex had her posters hanging on his closet doors. I was OK with it - after all she was Charlie’s Angel.

Well, that’s sad. :(

Back in the day there weren’t many young guys that didn’t have at least one of her posters hanging on a wall. Kind of a reality check when an icon like that passes away.
