After a long battle with cancer, Farrah Fawcett dies.


Farrah Fawcett, a pop culture icon, passed away today at the age of 62 after a long battle with anal cancer that eventually moved to her liver. It was just recent that her controversial movie aired on NBC, MSNBC, Bravo, and Oxygen documenting part of her battle with cancer. Farrah’s hope was to give others battling with cancer courage as well as to educate those with little knowledge, insight of what life is like for those battling such an ugly disease. Some saw the movie as a promotional move for Farrah, however, when there is an opportunity to bring awareness to a cause, there is no better way. There comes a time in everyone's life when faced with mortality that they become more interested in sharing their experiences rather than going after personal gain. Farrah did this with true grace.

Farrah will be a forever remembered icon, not only for her long flowing big 70’s hairstyle but also for the true talent she had that brought her characters to life. Farrah will be missed by so many. Farrah, rest in peace. Much love.

  3. I've enjoyed Farrah's assets for many a year. It's good to know that she had a serious side and a love of humanity. Her last movie will live on to give others hope. Thanks for sharing.

  4. My bedroom at home (a few years back) was wall papered with posters of Farrah. I often think of the atmosphere she created in that room. My wife wouldn't let me bring those posters with me. All will be missed!

  5. I watched a documentary on Farrah this past weekend. She was a good person. We've lost so many stars recently, it just doesn't seem fair.
