Farrah Fawcett, Actress, Dead at 62...


Ferrah Leni ("Farrah") Fawcett
February 2, 1947 – June 25, 2009


Ferrah Leni ("Farrah") Fawcett was an American actress. A multiple Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominee, Fawcett rose to international fame when she first appeared as private investigator Jill Munroe in the TV series Charlie's Angels in 1976. Fawcett later appeared off-Broadway to the approval of critics and in highly rated television movies in roles often challenging and sometimes unsympathetic. Fawcett was also a pop culture figure whose hairstyle was emulated by millions of young women and whose poster sales broke records, making her an international sex symbol in the 1970s and 1980s. While her impact was particularly strong on the teens of the 1970s, her appeal spreads over multiple generations.

She died in the intensive care unit of Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California, with her longtime partner Ryan O'Neal and friend Alana Stewart by her side.
