Farrah Fawcett

[Shejay]

I think that Farrah was one of the most beautiful women ever back when her famous poster was popular. I thought she was a really good actress in "The Burning Bed" and "Small Sacrifices." I remember someone asking Diane Downs what her opinion was on Farrah Fawcett playing her in "Small Sacrifices." Diane (old horse face) said that she was much prettier than Farrah. I nearly busted a gut laughing at that. That comment shows her to be more delusional than the whole bushy haired stranger story. I wish I had a special mirror like Diane had!

It is sad that Farrah is gone and that Redmond is still such a mess. If he doesn't get himself straightened out, he may be joining her sooner rather than later!

That is my opinion too - his pic shows how deep into drugs he is again, he looks like a straight up dope head. I'm sure he'll get LOTS more jailtime, but I would not be surprised if when he got out he pulled a old Sid Vicious. Lawwwd knows his Daddy ain't no kind of help...

I just find it amazing....lets run a red light with heroin and a gun in the car....

This kid needs help! Dr drew should reach out to him!

Yikes!!! That would be cool if it helped, but Dr. Drew ain't havin' the best of luck this years...

I just started the book Alana wrote about her friendship with Farrah a few days ago...

A telephone conversation with Farrah was the inspiration for the song "Midnight Train To Georgia":

Wow, never knew that the song all began with Farrah Fawcett.

[theotherlondon]

As a teenager I so loved Farrah Fawcett.

Ryan O'Neal claims he owns one-half of a pair of Farrah Fawcett portraits done by Andy Warhol, but the University of Texas said it belongs to the bequest from the star at the time of her death.

RIP Farrah

[Bidmor]

Not to detract from anniversary of MJ's death, but when I heard of the anniversary I immediately recalled that he and Farrah died literally only a few hours and a few miles apart.

[cindyt]

I think it's MJ distracting from Farrah's death. ((((Cindy runs))))

[Mammy]

She was so beautiful! I had a Farrah Fawcett doll when I was a kid. I wish I still had it.

[MCghoul38]

That is not the swimsuit she wore..............Clearly that is a different suit....The 1 she wore had black outlines............

[NewEnglander]

The one person I felt bad for in the whole Farrah saga was her father. He had to bury both of his daughters and his wife. The poor man was essentially alone (no close family). I don't know if Farrah's sister had any children, if she did maybe he wasn't totally alone. We certainly know Farrah's useless son was no comfort to her father.

[ladytinamarie]

I remember watching Farrah on Charlie's Angels when I was very young. Actually, it wasn't only Charlie's Angels, she seemed to everywhere back then. She was married to Lee Majors at the time. A few years later, I couldn't stand her and didn't care to hear her name mentioned. I was maybe what is now called a tween then. I'm a blond and couldn't stand the dumb blonde stereotype which, I believed was the role she played on Charlie's Angels. The my family and I watched The Burning Bed and man, did my opinion change. As did, it seemed, everyone else's opinion of her.

Another great movie of hers was Small Sacrifices, she did a fantastic job of portraying Diane Downs. I mean she was spot on in her role. I was a fan of hers from the time we watched The Burning Bed and I always will be. She seemed to be a very sweet lady. RIP Ms Fawcett.

I don't think many people realize just how popular she was in the late 70's. In 1978 a group of mostly males at my high school wanted to start a Farrah Fawcett club. They could not find a teacher to be the club sponsor so it never got started but I have never heard of anyone at any high school since then who wanted to start a high school club for a celebrity.

[Mansfield67]

Charlie's Angels was supposed to be a star vehicle for Kate Jackson, but almost from the start it was Farrah who got all the press. I can remember all the movie and TV magazines had her on the cover.. she was everywhere. I used her shampoo and conditioner ..wished I had saved a bottle ! dffdc973dc1143a804a162d5d81e2dd7.jpg

I don't remember ever seeing shampoo like that. It's odd that she had a line of shampoo with her name on it and also endorsed Wella Balsam shampoo.

I don't think it lasted that long, but I did use it. The last time I bought it was in the 80's, it must have already been off the market, and I got it at a discount drug store.. it was on the bottom shelf and the label had faded, I do wish I had kept it just for nostalgia sake !

[Domino]

Didn't all us girls want hair like Farah's? I know I did. She had the greatest hair.

[Mansfield67]

And some guys.. I was one of them ! Everyone I knew, guys and girls had that hair style at that time. Then the 80's came and you couldn't spike it high enough.. I invested a lot of money in gel and spray ! Lol48810993895a66bda0519360723f017a.jpg

[Shejay]

Does anybody know if her kid is still in the pokey?

[RiotBoots]

I don't think so Shejay. I think he was released in 2012.

Thanks Lovey! I guess not hearing about him in the news is a good thing considering.

Ryan O'Neal was a decent looking guy when he was younger and Farrah was gorgeous. Where in the hell did Opie come from?

Just goes to show that 2 pretty people can have ugly kids. Hell, look at Demi & Bruce's kids. Yikes!

[Domino]

Wow! I had no idea she and Ryan produced such an ugly child. Yikes!

[Mammy]

You definitely have a point there! Ryan's older children are decent looking, but Redmond is goofy looking. I guess Ryan and Farrah weren't a good combination. Demi and Bruce have three of the most homely girls I've ever seen.

[Mansfield67]

Something went horribly wrong ! Lol

[tamiele]

I am thinking Will and Jada Smith haven't done well either. A daughter that looks like Will isn't a good thing.

It was the nipples that sold the poster though.

you are so right....Farrah was EVERYWHERE in the late 70's. I can still remember the joke..

Why did Lee Majors fire the plumber ??
The plumber was caught screwing the wrong FAWCETT !!

Schoolyards, cocktail parties, at work, radio disc jockies..,,it seemed everyone was telling that joke. Then there was the Farrah "look" where women who had her hair style were suddenly cool. Back in 1977 I can remember a small TV station in Virginia had hired a part-time female weather forecaster who had the Farrah Fawcett hairdo. Viewers in my hometown were adjusting their antennas to watch this woman even though as I can recall she was a terrible weathergal and the station signal was very bad..but she looked like Farrah and for many that was enough.

I just spit chips out all over my laptop. Opie was cuter, lol!

I impregnated several pillows during my childhood while thinking of Farrah and her winter coat hanging nips.

So, when your "kids" clash, is it called a pillow fight?

Gone 10 years today.

As a teenager in the 1970s, I can agree.

Every time I see that poster it still has that wow factor.

[JimC]

I can still remember my wife ripping it down from the wall in an private office that I worked in.
It did have that wow factor - "Wow, she's pissed", I thought.

[Mansfield67]

Were you able to tape it back together after she left ? Lol

[JimC]

Bought a new one.
Hung it in the men's room for a while; but guys seemed to start spending too much time in there...

Just watched that Doc who does autopsy readings to try and establish what really killed her .He ended up saying that they caught the cancer really early on , but she wouldn't have the resection and didn't want to wear a bag , so it just spread everywhere .Also , they could have used stronger chemo drugs but she didn't want to lose her hair .In the end she shaved her hair but it was too late then . Her friend said that Ryan didn't help - saying you were the girl in the red swimsuit - you can't wear a bag ! how fucking unkind can you be ?He should have said , look you'll likely live if you have it , please reconsider we need you .

[Mansfield67]

She should have avoided him at all costs. She was outgoing, in control of herself but when she hooked up with him it all seemed to go south.

didn't she also do a lot of 'experimental' therapy in europe too? i remember she had a little documentary that was made and released either right before she passed, or shortly after, and she was travelling a lot for these treatments.

[artymorty]

Well turns out my post above was incorrect .The director or producer of Chasing Farrah, Craig Nevius , wasn't able to speak out until Ryan O'Neal died .Now however , I believe he is writing a book on the real story behind the making of Chasing Farrah .Some startling facts that Ryan managed to cover up allegedly , Farrah DID have the colostomy operation to try and save her life but O'Neal wouldn't let her have it in the film that he and Alana S came out with - Farrah's story and she was kept in the dark about it .Nevius is on Facebook and you can read far more than I can say here . I believe Nevius .O'Neal was a scumbag through and through .
