Farrah Fawcett Dies of Cancer at 62
people ^ | 06.25.09

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.

She was also in The Apostle, with Robert Duvall.

One of my favorite movies and favorite actor.

RIP, Farrah. She was a sex symbol without appearing slutty, like so many of today's girls.

Really? Then why are we so afraid of asbestos and cigarettes?

Who are you to judge her morals?

The pesky thing about morals is that many of them are demonstrated in public, affecting the morale of others. She professed Catholicism, yet had a long string of liaisons and never married the father of her child. She was arrested several times for shoplifting and trespassing. She posed for Playboy. One of her boyfriends was they type of man who beat her severely (she was hospitalized) after she attacked his car with a baseball bat. The relationship with Ryan O'Neal was notoriously stormy as well. These are not judgments per se, but they are public facts that have saddened many of her fans. I think most people here wished better for her.

Non-judgmentalism will be the death of us all.

I agree.
