RIP: Farrah Fawcett dies after three-year cancer battle


Very sad news...

Actress Farrah Fawcett died on Friday following a three year battle with cancer. She was 62.

Fawcett, best known for her brief role on Charlies Angles, was a sex symbol of the 1970’s, inspiring millions of poster sales. She later went on to critical acclaim with a litany of roles in film and television.

“As it turned out, her bravest role of all was her final one: She shared every brutally unglamorous step of her cancer treatment with the world in the riveting NBC documentary Farrah’s Story,” noted Entertainment Weekly. “Perhaps most touchingly, the film gave its 9 million viewers a glimpse of her extraordinary love affair with Ryan O’Neal, who has supported her throughout treatment — and even told Barbara Walters on a recent 20/20 that he’d finally asked her to marry him after nearly 25 years together: ‘We will, just as soon as she can say yes.’”
