The Fawcett is Off

Farrah Fawcett passed away this morning. Our fave feathered Charlie's Angel was taken by her long battle with cancer.

She was 62 and companioned with her long-time mate, ex-partner, Ryan O' Neal (star of Kubrick's Barry Lyndon and father of Tatum O' Neal).
Since the late 60s, she had been in various roles from a guest appearance on S.W.A.T., I Dream Of Jeannie, to a role in the hit, The Six Million Dollar Man, where she met her once husband, Lee Majors, to her most notable work as Jill Munroe in Charlie's Angels from mid-70s to 1980. She is the first Angle to pass.

Who else can claim to have been the catalyst to one of the biggest hair trends in history? Feathered Hair was her trademark. Did you see Cannonball Run? I know I did ;) When you were a child and saw that... she was hot stuff. So was Adrienne Barbeau too though. Many of the cast members from the film have passed away, including Dom DeLuise, who died last month on the 20th of May, also from cancer.

In Farrah's later years, she was infamous for her addictions and crude behavior including petty theft and urinating on a front lawn at a house party. She was also on several television roasts and often the brunt of jokes.

She will, however be remembered by me as the 70s/ early 80s feathered hottie!
I trust that sounds fair, coming from my childhood memories.

Goodbye Farrah, you will always be a Charlie's Angel!
