A spokesperson has confirmed that Charlie's Angels star Farrah Fawcett has died of cancer.Fawcett died this morning at John's Medical Center in Santa Monica. Ryan O'Neal was at her side. He had said recently that he wanted to marry Fawcett before she passed, but there's no word yet on whether they got married or not. This may sound ghoulish, but ABC actually put together a new special that is going to air tonight at 10PM. It's titled Farrah Fawcett: Her Life, Her Loves, Her Legacy. They put the show together when it looked like Fawcett was back in the hospital and had taken a turn for the worse.
Like most teen boys in the 70s, I had that famous poster of Fawcett, featuring her hair and her big smile. Even back then I knew that Charlie's Angels was kinda cheesy and dumb, but it was entertaining cheese.

Farrah is truly one of the most beautiful ladies, ever, inside and out. Her show was not ever, dumb, and the only ones that ever said that, were either obviously jealous, or sad, very sad, that indeed they could not attract her for themselves.. I know I will see her one day, I am a hairdresser, maybe she will let me cut her hair, or who knows, maybe she will do mine... We love you, Farrah, and I know without a doubt, you are with Jesus....

What a sad story. I've always adored Farrah. She was my idol growing up. During high school everyone copied her hairstyle, including me. She was such a beautiful woman. She will be missed by all. God Bless her family during this time.

Farrah you left us too soon. You were my idol as a woman that I wanted to look like when I was in my early twenties. You also are a fellow Aquarian so I related to you that way also. We will miss you and we will keep yu legacy alive by remembering you and finding a cure for cancer in your son's lifetime. I hope he has a little girl in your likeness one day.

Dear Farrah... I prayed for you just yesterday. May you rest peacefully in the loving arms of God with thousands of Angels all around you. Your family will all be with be with you again one day in paradise. I gained such inner stength from your amazing inner strength and courage as I am a cancer survivior. I watched your documentry "Farahs Story" and I am so glad that I did. I was never so deeply moved by a humans beings inner strength, courage, and ablitly to share such a story of such strength and hope with the world and to make such a strong messages about America and our lousy health care system and lack of so much....That you had to fly to another country for treatments it's just unreal.
You where our angel here on earth and you will be so deeply missed. We love you Farrah with all our hearts! You lived Strong! My condolances to the entire family. She is at peace now with our Lord & Savior. Much Love, Heather C.
