LOS ANGELES (AP) — Farrah Fawcett, the "Charlie's Angels" star whose feathered blond hair and dazzling smile made her one of the biggest sex symbols of the 1970s, died Thursday after battling cancer. She was 62.

The pop icon, who in the 1980s set aside the fantasy girl image to tackle serious roles, died shortly before 9:30 a.m. in a Santa Monica hospital, spokesman Paul Bloch said.

Ryan O'Neal, the longtime companion who had reunited with Fawcett as she fought anal cancer, was at her side, along with close friend Alana Stewart, Bloch said.

"After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away," O'Neal said. "Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world."

Real classy.

Did you join this forum just to praise Michael Jackson?

[kokichi]

Nope, I joined thinking that this forum would have much more respect than I have seen in the thread you are referring to, which is not what this thread is about so if anything you seem to be spreading MJ into other threads, so the question goes back to you.

Very sad. Though I must admit I preferred the blonde that replaced her in Charlie's Angels:)

The forum is not usually as bad as what you saw on the MJ thread. I hadn't realised orwell101 was a troll but I know now.

I am sure you will enjoy the DI forum.

RIP the bionic woman, actually RIP to all who died today.

RIP

Do you think there's some truth in the suggestion that the copious amounts of hairspray required in acheiving the Fawcett Flick contributed to her ill health?
