Farrah Fawcett’s family summoned a priest to conduct last rights on the night of Wednesday, June 24, 2009, according to the New York Daily News. Apparently Fawcett’s bout with cancer has taken a turn for the worst while her closest family and friends were at her bedside. Her fight with cancer goes back to 2006 and has been shown in the NBC documentary, “Farrah’s Story.” Barbara Walters is scheduled to air another story on Fawcett on “20/20″ tomorrow night.
Fawcett is best known for her role in the hit television show, “Charlie’s Angels.” The action series ran for five seasons starting in 1976 and brought Fawcett and the other angels (played by Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd and Kate Jackson) to the center of the television beauty stage. Never before had such beauty been combined with action and drama outside of the silver screen. Of course my favorite action with Fawcett is the 1976 sci-fi movie “Logan’s Run.” Who can forget her role there as the beautiful blond (read:bimbo) assistant to the laser make-over surgeon? The 62 year old Fawcett’s long-time lover Ryan O’Neal has asked her to marry him again, and according to O’Neal, she has accepted. The couple has one child together, Redmond O’Neal. Only time will tell if this will truly be the final farewell to Farrah Fawcett. Either way she has lived a full life, inspired many and has been an icon for beautiful women the world over.
