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.

and a very underrated actress...she was known for the blonde hair, Charlies Angles and that poster but if you’ve ever got to see any of the other movies she did, Burning Bed comes to mind, they were quite good IMO...

I have never heard it called ‘anal cancer’ before - how about colon cancer?

Actually, "colorectal cancer" would be more accurate.

Insane as it sounds, Farrah’s poster actually hung in my sixth grade classroom back in 1976.

I cannot imagine that today.

I watch that one every time it's on. Small Sacrifices is also very good.

Every girl during that time wanted their hair to look like that and I never saw one that came even close!
