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.
"I've watched her this past year fight with such courage and so valiantly, but with such humor," Fawcett's Charlie's Angels costar Kate Jackson told PEOPLE in November 2007.
O'Neal, in particular, remained a steadfast supporter of Fawcett, who, despite her frailty, spent the last months of her life filming a TV documentary chronicling her illness, including several trips to Germany to undergo experimental treatment. Fawcett is survived by her son with O'Neal, Redmond, 24, who is currently serving a prison term in California after repeated drug offenses. [Reply]

The only problem I had with her is that she is a Longwhorn. [Reply]
Farrah was my girl, couldnt wait to watch Charlies Angels so I could see Jill. I too had the poster and I also had a T-shirt with the poster on it. I also had a life sized poster of her in a blue jump suit type thing with high heels on a 10 speed. Rubbed more than a few out.
I think you should take a poll about which one more people care about.
Why is it a popularity contest?
Like everyone, they both had their 'demons'... some demons are worse than others. There's no question which of the two is the most popular and why one is getting more coverage than the other.
And, if it's worded "care about"... MJ loses big on here, I'm would be shocked if Farrah didn't win the "which person do you care most about" debate between those 2. [Reply]

On this exact midwestern based forum sure, on a general forum...not so much.
I know exactly how people on this forum will react before they do because of where it's based. [Reply]

I definitely think opinions will vary... you go with the under 35 crowd, there's likely more pro-MJ sentiment. It will also depend on the race aspect as well and don't think it won't.
All in all, it would be a pointless exercise... [Reply]

So in one breath you say we shouldn't be disrespectful to the child molesting kiddy raper then laugh in the face of dead a Farrah Fawcett because she wasn't "as popular".
Don't bring up Michael Jackson in the Farrah Fawcett thread and I won't post that, but you made a rather stupid comment that was based nothing more on a personal attack against Michael Jackson in the FARRAH FAWCETT THREAD. [Reply]
