Good-bye Farrah Fawcett
Funeral services will be held today, Tuesday, June 30, 2009, for Farrah Fawcett. The beautiful actress died at the age of 62 after suffering severely from anal cancer. Her suffering lasted for two years as she courageously battled the disease that eventually spread throughout her body.
MSNBC did a documentary recording her battle with this disease and those who stuck by her during this hard fought battle. Ryan O’Neal, who truly loved Farrah was by her side during her journey to death and I admire his dedication to Farrah. True love seems so rare in today’s world but it was obvious that Ryan loved Farrah and had loved her for years.
I believe Ryan O’Neal was the true love of Farrah’s life and even though their relationship was on again, off again I know he truly loved Farrah as I watched him in the documentary giving her strength and tears as he watched her condition deteriorate and weaken her body. I’m sure the world does not seem the same for him since Farrah died. I am so glad for Farrah Fawcett, that she had true love in this life and a true friend, as well in Alana Stewart who remained by her side during this devastating illness.
I grew up watching Farrah Fawcett on “Charlie’s Angels” She was truly one of the beautiful people in life with her stylish hair, beautiful, ready smile and that Texas accent that she spoke with in Charlie’s Angels always acting like a little country bumpkin with serious consequences when you fell for the act.
Years later, her role in “The Burning Bed” was outstanding and I related to that story as though it were a page out of my life for I had considered that very thing, prior to that movie, at one point in my life and for the same reasons. I am glad that domestic violence is beginning to be viewed on the criminal level that it should have been viewed long ago.
I remember when she married Lee Majors, another actor I loved, back in the day, as he played the illegitimate son of Barbara Stanwyck in “The Big Valley” and Steve Austin in “The Six Million Dollar Man”. When they wed, I thought they were the perfect couple in terms of they were two outwardly beautiful people who looked good together. That turned out to be a short lived union however lasting from 1973 to 1979. Majors had nice words for her upon her passing, calling her an “angel on earth and now an angel forever”
R.I.P. Farrah Fawcett, you will be remembered!!!! Stay Strong Ryan and may you find peace in the face of sadness.
And that’s the way I see it!!!!
