Farrah Fawcett Has Passed Away
After a long battle with cancer, Farrah Fawcett has passed away at the young age of 62. Ryan O'Neal and her good friend Alana Stewart were both at St. John's Health Center in Los Angeles with Farrah when she died. While leaving the hospital, Alana told ET, "I just lost my best friend. Her death was very peaceful."
Ryan released this statement: "After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away. 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."
Farrah is survived by her 24-year-old son Redmond.
We were all expecting this, but it still brings the sads. Farrah was a funny, talented, vibrant and beautiful lady! And she had good hair. She had really good hair.
May Farrah rest in peace.... And this is totally cliche, but it's the only thing I can think of right now: Heaven gets another angel.

RIP Farrah. Hopefully her kid Redmond will stop being a crackhead/jailbird.
RIP Farrah. I lost my wonderful husband on June 6 from cancer. I remember about a month ago watching Farrah's documentary and thinking to myself "Thank God Ron isn't that bad yet." Little did I know that I would lose him before Farrah lost her battle. Too much sadness. Cancer sucks. And Michael was my first crush!
I've never seen any of her movies, and nor have I ever known much about Farrah Fawcett, but I found this all very sad, because when she was ill she remained optimistic and appreciative for life even with so little time left.
May she rest in peace and be remembered fondly.

(This is too long. And boring. I'm sorry. I'm feeling very rocky right now, and I suppose that my judgement isn't what it should be. Otherwise, I'd just keep my big trap shut, rather than blathering senselessly on a gossip blog where nobody knows who I am.)

Farrah's cancer also metastasized to her liver and there is a 0% survival rate past five years for secondary liver cancer.
**************************************
What the hell is secondary liver cancer? What would be defined as firstdary liver cancer?
I just wanted to say.... We (my dad & I) lost my mum right before Thanksgiving the year before last. Breast --> bones --> liver. She'd been fighting since April '97, and I was her caregiver (but, even though I had to stop my entire life to look after her, as I was so cruelly informed by a now-former "friend," it didn't matter what kind of an impact any of it had on me, since I didn't matter at all; she then proceeded to pick a fight with me because I was hurt that she said that, then broke up with me when I stood up to her, even though we'd been friends about five years, and I still hope the bitch dies in a fire ... but I digress, and I apologise). I'd never before been exposed to the death of someone I was close to, and death hurts like fuck, it turns out. We're both trapped under this pall of grief and dysfunction. (I feel hideously guilty for being in so much pain; two weeks after the wake, I was on my therapist's couch crying like a baby, only to be told I should be "moving on." I wanted to slap the shit out of her for that, and I haven't been back since. I've had to stretch out my meds — I've got a serious chronic condition that requires medication that basically keeps me alive, for whatever that might be worth — by "forgetting" to take them for several weeks at a time, until I'm ready to deal with her bitchiness again. Sigh. We've been together long enough that that's actually easier than breaking up & starting up with someone new.)
Ma's liver (and her fucking oncologist ...) gave up on her a little under four years after the tumours there were found, so ISMU's comment made me start crying. I never even knew that, because nobody even told us. (Turned out, there was a lot that nobody even told us....) Then, all of a sudden, I saw the word firstdary, and I started laughing like Hell, in spite of myself. Radio Siren's sig is right: Dlisted is a hellava drug. Just when I think I'd be best off climbing into a hole and ignoring the entire human species for the rest of my damn life, one of you delightful horz says something that makes me want to crawl out and consider existing alongside it. Thank you for that.
OT: Wow. She was such a pretty lady. The Angels were a few years before my time, so I never quite realised until now. She reminds me a little of a younger version of my dad's sister.
Dammit all. This really upset me. In my usual naïve way, I was so rooting for her just to get electromagically better, and I know I shouldn't've been surprised, but somehow, I wasn't prepared for it, and it came as a shock. Not as much a shock as MJ, but a shock all the same. The only thing I can really say is that whereever she's gone now, whatever she's become now, she's not in a hideous, pointless amount of pain. There are times when pain has a point to it, but cancer is never one of them. And I hope that the people who love her can find solace in how hard she fought. I know that I did when it was my turn.
(I think I may end up putting off reading the MJ thread 'til tomorrow. This one, as it is, has taken a lot out of me. Silly, I know. But that's just how it is these days.)

I never could get my hair to look like Farrah's as a teen and nor could any of the other teenie bopper girls in my class. We ended up looking like dorks with giant barrel curls.
"Small Sacrifices", "Extremities" and "Burning Bed" showcased Farrah's incredible, gut-wrenching talent as an actress and as a human being.
R.I.P., beautiful.
FUCK RYAN ONEIL. and with that said, farrah is a legand in her own right. she was beautiful talented and from what i hear nice person. that said, lets not do the who upstaged who thing.its not going to do their memories any good

A pleasant icon from my youth--for a guy my age the 'nipples' poster was ever-present. She seemed to be a good person with the usual drug abuse associated with celebrityhood, and a lengthy and courageous struggle with her final illness.
God bless, farrah!
RIP

"...anyone see The Prophet with Duvall, she was good in that too!"
*************************************************
"The Prophet" was a fucking great movie and Duvall personally wrote that part for her. Her role in that film was perfection and showed what a great actress she was.
RIP. Very sad to hear, although I think we all knew this was coming.
I am of the era of Farrah I remember meeting her former husband Mr. Majors who was very gracious enough to give me his autograph.Inever met her but like everyone else fell in love with her that beautiful smile that seemed to light up her face will now be lighting up her heavenly home.My sincere condolences to her family and friends.RIP angel.
talk about being upstaged
:(
aww =[
rip.
She fought so hard - may she rest in peace.

RIP Farrah
Just got home and read this sad news...don't know if anyone said this or not, but she was a really good actress. Don't know if she always got proper credit for it. Remember "The Burning Bed" and "Small Sacrifices?"
RIP Farah. We will miss your indomitable spirit.
Sad news. She was too young to die, and cancer is a rough way to go.
I hope Redmond will be okay. It hurts so much to watch any person destroy himself, and Redmond is so young.
Alana Stewart gives me the creeps. Are Farrah's parents capable of stepping in on Redmond's behalf? Because neither Ryan nor Alana seem sane enough to be there for Redmond in any meaningful way.
So, does this mean Ryan missed his chance to cash in by marrying her? If so, that might be a silver lining...
Nice pic of the lovely Farrah, but frosted hair? At that age? Why???

Bye Farrah - I adored you and you are an Angel. :)
She was awesome! RIP FF.
TMZ is reporting that Michael Jackson has been sent to a hospital in LA in cardiac arrest. Yikes!
Metastatic cancer to the liver is not survivable. Rough, but true.
At least she'll get the People cover all to herself next week, while Ed McM had a small square next to Possum Head and her travails.

Oh no.
I don't know why, but I really somehow thought she'd make it. I have the sads.
RIP, beautiful
RIP, Farrah. You will be missed.
Wow. That's too bad.

Just after I read the sad news about Farrah I went outside and found a hummingbird on the ground flapping its wings. I picked it up and it died in my hands. This day really sucks.
------------------------------------
Omg that is so sad, I would of had a break down for reals.
R.I.P Farrah, may your spirit live on.
There was something about Farrah that made her so watchable. 'Sunburn' is one of my guilty, guilty pleasures because she's in it ... not because it's a good film because it really isn't a good film at all. Definitely cheesy but nonetheless, Farrah's in it and she is just fun to watch. And you're right MK, she had fabulous hair which just elevated her beauty to a whole other level. RIP.

Awww, rest in peace Farrah. I will never forget your excellent work in The Burning Bed. And your poster will live on forever. You made millions of men very, very happy. :)

My neighbor across the street is 80. When they moved in a few years ago, the house was brand new, and all the garages here are finished completely with drywall. The first thing he did in that garage was hang up two posters. One is of some race car, and the other is the Farrah poster you are talking about! So I see her every day when I go outside, because his garage is always open!

Peep my blog, y'all will love it!

wow, this is sad. She defined the 70's. I remember all her different phases, Charlies Angels, "THE poster to end all posters" (everyone in my high school had that poster), The Burning Bed, anyone see The Prophet with Duvall, she was good in that too!, then her loaded time on T.V., and I actually got to see the sculpture she did at the museum out here in L.A., also don't forget That crazy Bravo show "Chasing Farrah"...man, I miss her. She was so brave when she documented her cancer. I have such admiration for her. I saw her son once, I think her impending death may be what drove him to drugs. I hope to God he gets his shit together, at least in her honor. God Rest your Soul, sweet Farrah, you are truly missed!!
I was just reading in my local paper that when she was less than one month old, she had to have a surgery to remove a tumor in her digestive tract. And what is at the VERY end of the digestive tract? The colon and then the anus. And she died of anal cancer. I just can't help but wonder if the two are somehow connected. Hmmm.

Damn!
The past couple of years seem to be filled with losses in the entertainment business. Or am I paranoid and seeing more deaths than average?
RIP, Farrah.
RIP, Pretty lady.
xoxoxoxo
hugs y'all.
This ain't my first rodeo, cowboy.
at least she's not in pain anymore. fuck Ryan O'Neal! hopefully, their son gets his shit together. damn, what shame. R.I.P. Farrah.
This makes me want to get a colonoscopy......RIP.
Sadness.

For anyone who feels compelled, let's pray for her son. He may actually hit bottom now. This could be the final thing that gets him clean and sober. I hope so. Then maybe he can honor his mom instead of be an embarassment.
skinny fat!!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxoxo
Watch Ryan, and his kid will get their shit together now.. assholes
Thanks, NoAnjil.
