it sucks. but the obsession is kind of sickening.
At the end of the day she clearly has fans and people who admire her. Telling them to 'get over it' would be like telling a Stevie or Lindsey fan to 'get over it' if they were in the same position

Farrah Fawcett, sex symbol and actress, dies

http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/TV/0...ett/index.html

Farrah Fawcett, the blond-maned actress whose best-selling poster and "Charlie's Angels" stardom made her one of the most famous faces in the world, has died. She was 62. Fawcett had been battling anal cancer on and off for three years. Ryan O'Neal, Fawcett's romantic partner, recently told People magazine that the sex symbol was fading.

This is so sad. I cried upon hearing this, today. The only comfort, if that's a proper word here, is knowing she's not suffering or in pain anymore.. May you RIP Farah..

So sad. She was a very beautiful woman, inside and out, and I always thought quite real. Cancer really, really sucks.

pip was right when she said, "farrah's story" wasn't hype & the her condition was as bad as it was portrayed~

i also want to add a post i put on another board i belong to~ i have said all along for many years as a child of the 70's, farrah was the "other woman" in my life besides stevie nicks~ i grew up loving & adoring them both & feel blessed to have had the pleasure of looking up to both them~

my heart is truly breaking~ another wonderful icon gone~ i was standing in my spare bedroom looking at my "red swimsuit" poster & bawling like a baby~ besides stevie nicks, i so loved farrah when i was a girl~ & her being jill in "charlie's angels" & that being my real name, always made it easy for me to be her when my friends & i played "charlie's angels" as kids~ i guilty have to admit to only using her shampoo when it was sold & having all her dolls~ she had the best hair & smile in the biz~ she also had a heart~ she was more than a pin-up girl, she was real & i loved her~

i will miss you farrah, may you have some comfort & rest in peace, if anyone deserves it, you do~ your battle was brave, yet hard to watch, & as a fan, i am thankful i was also let into that part of your life~

stunning...

Awwwww...you're SO right about this, as it does seem that a part of our youth fades away here. I guess we just need to be happy with the wonderful memories she left us, and know that she's in a better place. That still won't mend the hole we have left in our hearts.. but at least we know she's not in pain or suffering anymore.

I love Farrah for several reasons. First she became the sex symbol, I was 12 when I watched Charlie Angels, though she has already appeared in some episodes of 6million dollar man, SWAT, and othe Spelling shows. And of course there was the famous poster.

She became the silly blonde girl, she left Charlie's Angels after the first season and did some bad movies. But then it came The Burning Bed and Extremities, and she proved she was a great actress.

Another great performance was Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story. I loved her career because that "silly blonde girl who can't act" label is usually set by the media, and for unfair reasons. Not only with Farrah, there are several blonde actresses that never had a good opportunity. Fortunately for Farrah she could show us how great she was. Probably it was very hard.

I hope some day they find the definitive cure for cancer, aids, and other diseases that take us many talents, also our loved relatives.
