‘Charlie’s Angel’ dies at 62

farrah-fawcettIt’s been a sad week in Hollywood. First, Ed McMahon and now the legendary Farrah Fawcett has passed.

Before Halle, Angelina Jolie, or Meagan Fox, Farrah Fawcett was the most beautiful and popular woman in the world, ruling the 70s and early 80s. Fawcett’s lean body and blond hair with the classic “Farrah” flip made her a pop culture phenomenon. She got her start on televison in 1976 with Charlie’s Angels but left after only one season. Her career would explode as a film star in movies like Extremities, which included Alfre Woodard and The Burning Bed, earning her an Emmy  nomination and proving to the critics she was more than a sex symbol — she could act.

Farrah Fawcett had a long battle with cancer that was documented in a NBC documentary, which aired May 15th, 2009 and brought in almost 9 million viewers.  Farrah, who was a Texas native and originally born Mary Farrah Leni Fawcett, succumbed to the disease today at 62 years old in Santa Monica, California.

Check out the clip below of an interview a healthy Farrah did with CNN.

You are an inspiration to me. I had to have your poster as a young child so I bought your puzzle and hung it up in my room. I will always remember you for your beauty vivacious personality and acting. your bravery and courage with a wonderful spirit touch others as it has touched me. May God lift your family in His hands and carry them under his wings for strength. With love your fan

You never backed down from speaking to someone with your openness and you showed the world that you can keep your roots and still be successful. You have made a major mark on the world that can not be erased. Your presence has been greatly felt and you will be greatly missed. RIP Jill Munroe aka Farrah. You never shied away from showing the world your personal story.

you know, i never wish death on anyone. and yes it’s true that farrah fawcett did die yesterday before michael jackson did. and she was brave in her fight to overcome colon cancer. but it burns my ass to a crisp knowing that some of those assclowns, especially in media entertainment, think that fawcett can compete with jackson in talents and fame. there is no competition. i give respect where respect is due, but i’ll be damn if i will buy into the hype that fawcett’s one season on charlie’s angel, one poster of her in a rusty colored bathing suit, and an over tressed hair do, had the magnitude and phenomenon that jackson had with his talents and in his career. i was never a major fan of fawcett, but i knew who she was. and although the media tried to keep this under wraps because there was something in it for them if they present fawcett as lily white and sqeaky clean, i recalled an incident when the texas heifer had an attitude against black people. i ain’t mad at her though. she’s dead now. and in spite of it all, i hope her soul will rest in peace.
