Thank you for reminding me of the Barbara Hutton story movie. What I remember most about that movie was Farrah's character lounging poolside with a cigarette in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other and how her character claimed she existed on those two items.
Also, just curious, did Charlie's Angels run on South American television at the same time as America's did? Or did you folks recieve the shows a year or so later?
Thanks, Viv

I never watched Charie's Angels (or Wonder Woman) for some reason as a kid.I saw bits of them and wanted to look like Jackilyn Smith, but the shows didn't appeal to me. And yet I watched Chips and Magnum P.I., so I guess I made my choice of eye candy there. :^)

There used to be a ton of detective shows... I remember though I used to watch The Bionic Woman a lot (and haven't seen it since). I liked Vegas (with Dan Tanna) and Kolchak The Night Stalker who were detectives, and later Cagney & Lacey was great, but then I was completely obsessed with Little House On The Prarie for at least a year as well. I don't know why Charlie's Angels failed to interest me. I already 'knew' Farrah from Logan's Run (and Jessica Six from The Railway Children). That does it, I need satellite tv again...

Farrah Fawcett's Life Celebrated at Private Funeral

Tuesday , June 30, 2009

LOS ANGELES —
The life of "Charlie's Angels" star Farrah Fawcett was celebrated Tuesday at a private funeral in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels.

Her longtime companion, Ryan O'Neal, 68, was among pallbearers who accompanied the casket, covered in yellow and orange flowers, into the Roman Catholic cathedral.

Fawcett's friend Alana Stewart and "Charlie's Angels" co-star Kate Jackson were among early arrivals before the hearse pulled up, accompanied by 10 motorcycle officers.

The private service lasted more than an hour as fans and news media watched from across a street.

A bag piper was the first to emerge from the cathedral after the service, followed by several priests and the pallbearers carrying Fawcett's casket. Her father was helped into a limousine as dozens of other mourners waited nearby to board several white shuttle buses.

The funeral program said Fawcett's and O'Neal's 24-year-old son, Redmond, was to do the service's first reading. He has been jailed in a drug case but received a judge's permission to attend the funeral. He was not seen outside the cathedral, however.

The program, which featured a photograph of a smiling Fawcett, also said Ryan O'Neal was to read the 23rd Psalm. and eulogies were to be given by Stewart and Dr. Lawrence Piro, Fawcett's cancer specialist.

Fawcett died Thursday at age 62 after a public battle with cancer. O'Neal and Stewart were at her side.

"After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away," O'Neal said in a statement last week. "Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world."

Diagnosed with a rare cancer in 2006, Fawcett's battle with the disease was documented in "Farrah's Story," which aired last month on NBC.

Stewart, a producer of the documentary, said Fawcett was "much more than a friend; she was my sister."

"Although I will miss her terribly, I know in my heart that she will always be there as that angel on the shoulder of everyone who loved her," Stewart said in a statement.

Redmond O'Neal was jailed April 5 on drug charges. The order by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Jane Godfrey allowed him to be released for three hours and wear street clothes to attend the funeral.

So long Farrah,RIP.her story was over shadowed by the loss of Michael Jackson,but his was a shocker.btw the tv shows from the 50s to the 80s were awesome ,compared to the crap on tv now.I have All of Charlies Angels on VHS recorded off of TNT and a local channel I've recorded ages ago.I think I will have my own tribute to Farrah marathon coming up this holiday weekend.

Isn't that a beautiful name for a church. I've been there for services and actually met Cardinal Mahoney on Christmas Day...one handshake away from the Pope. There are cripts below that have been taken by celebrity Catholics. I wonder if Farrah will be interred there. I hope I can get a place.
