charlie lost his best angel. rip.

:(
RIP

I hope Ryan and her sons take solace in the fact her suffering is over. I wish them all the best in the next chapter of thier life and thier healing.

I had a feeling it would be today.

RIP beautiful lady.

SO SAD…RIP

FOXY BROWN @ 06/25/2009 at 1:24 pm

She is a real angel now–free from sickness and pain. God has blessed her and set her free. SOAR FARRAH!!!

A Texas sunshine has left us. RIP

You are an American ICON Farrah.

@ anon. I felt it would happen today, too. She was too young to leave us, but she is now in a better place (no more pain).

To Farrah–Thank you for the memories and good night to you.

Her documentary regarding her battles was breathtaking! I love Farrah so much for her strength. She was such a fighter. So easy to be just a pretty face but she was atropper, a painter, a fighter and so much smarter than anyone imagined. Such an exotic beauty. She was Lebanese interestingly enough but everyone associated her with being this All American girl - but in fact her Dad was 100% Lebonese. That is why she was all American but yet exotic at the same time. I loved Jill on Charlie’s Angels. God bless you Farrah and may God enjoy your pretty smile in heaven. Rest in peace.

My thoughts and prayers to her family and friends. I am glad she is in a pain free place now but we will miss her dearly. She was a brave and beautiful lady.
RIP Angel.

Omg! She really tried! RIP

Lol, Jared, fire your designers…no one wants to see Hayden’s mug on Farrah’s thread…She has such a lovely name too btw.

RIP Farrah.

@Jolie hot chin not: really? I did not know that. Then she must have had more or less the same background as Queen Noor of Jordan.
Farewell to a beautiful actress, now free of pain and suffering.

her son, partner and family have my deepest sympathies. she was only 62 years old. same age as my grandmother; very sad

“”"”Though O’Neal recently said that he and Fawcett had planned to wed, they did not tie the knot. “There just wasn’t time, and Farrah wasn’t in any condition to do it,” says O’Neal. “”"

I just wish they HAD been able to get married before she passed away. But it wasn’t meant to be.

Prayers go out to her loved ones.

Smilehexe @ 06/25/2009 at 2:05 pm

Sad to hear she finally lost the battle. Condoles to the family.

Lillianne @ 06/25/2009 at 2:07 pm

Rest in Peace Farrah. You gave us a lot of enjoyment in your short lift.

joneblaze @ 06/25/2009 at 2:11 pm

A lot of people wrote Farrah Fawcett off as just another silly,sexy,blonde bouncing around on t.v,but she proved she was much more especially in movies like Extremities and The Burning Bed .She proved she was a fighter in those films and in life with her battle with cancer.
R.I.P Lovely lady

omg, RIP

Jolie hot chin not @6/25/2009 @ 1:30 pm

Farrah was part French, English and Choctaw American Indian. Where did you read that she was Lebanese? Interesting…

WTF!!
Doesn’t she have a son?
WHere the F**K was he?
He should have been there when she died..That is just too sad…
Her death should haunt him for the rest of his life!!

beautiful woman…
R.I.P.

Rest in peace. :*(

How terribly sad her son couldn’t be at her side…

May she rest in peace.
Strength and my concolences to her family and dear ones.

May God be with her.

condolences*

TWPumpkin @ 06/25/2009 at 2:30 pm

She was one of the few stars who had real class. Everyone in high school had her poster. I will always remember her beautiful smile. Rest in peace.

Hugh Jass @ 06/25/2009 at 2:30 pm

RIP.
God bless her family and loved ones.

This makes me sad. My sympathies to her family.

a realist @ 06/25/2009 at 2:32 pm

Rest in peace, Farrah. NO more pain.

HOW SAD FOR HER FATHER TOO @ 06/25/2009 at 2:32 pm

Nic it is hard to come see his mom when he is in prison..Yes they should of let him be there …but instead she had the couple of the
2009 Ryan and Alana Hamilton… Where were the ANGELS KATE
AND JACKIE.. Why the people that brought you the documentary..
Are we going to see another of her dying in her bed her last breathe
as Alana says something to camera.. wow the people that bring you
the doc are the ones by her bedside.. Not even telling her dad so
that he could say goodbye how selfish are these two

this is really heartbreaking. I wish all the best for her family and may she rest in peace. she will be missed.

Farrah remembered @ 06/25/2009 at 2:54 pm

I am sad today though because Farrah died. Funny thing is she was not my favorite angel during the Charlie’s Angels run… I liked Jaclyn Smith… but now I see that Farrah was the one that was the icon. She had that magnetic something that keeps us all intrigued. There was something very vulnerable about her that made her human. Yet, she was resilient and full of love that shined through somehow. Now, that I look at the old pictures of her that have been flashing on the news, she really did shine in those days. There was something she had that the other “angels” did not have. she had charisma. RIP

RIP Farrah
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE

oops.Farrah was part French, English and Choctaw Native American Indian.

#35 Nic,her son is in prison for drugs and other things.He has a wrap sheet as long as your arm.He was allowed with chains and shakels to see her a few weeks ago.Whether she saw him or not,RyanO’Neal,AlanaStewart, etc., did not say.Read beweteen thelines….FFawcett has been in Stage4, conscious/unconscious about to die for some time now. Hopefully her son with O’Neal will be finished with his time,and can attend her services without chains and shakels.Hopefully,he can she how lived her life and WILL NOW do right life himself. Too bad she did not live to see him living right at last.I think we can say the poor woman gave him chances and help all she could.
#45, her father is widowed and very aged in his 90’s so maybe his health prevented him for leaving his doctors and taking a 3 1/2 hour flight. She would not have known if he,you,or me was there.
Maybe he wanted to remember his child as she was when she was alive.We do not know. Her mother passed away and I think her only and elder sister died too.

Farrah has been dead for a few weeks. Her two best friends, Stewart and O’Neal, were at her side24/7.RyanO’Neal gets points here though he has had problems. Now she is officially dead.
She is now in good health with her mom and I think her sister passed away.

i hope farrah iz in a good place i loved watching charlies angels ad she was the best 1 @Alexa Collazo:

May Farrah by the mercy of God rest in his Glory! She was beautiful and charismatic.

RIP Farrah, and may God watch over your loved ones in this time of grief.

jolie-pitt @ 06/25/2009 at 3:11 pm

rip farrah you are in better hands now and can finally be at peace

She was such a fighter, and she will be missed.
Prayers are with her family and friends.

This brave lady gave it her all until the very end and I have so much respect for her in doing so. God bless you Farrah and rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with Ryan and their family and friends during this difficult time. May you all find the strength and comfort to get through the days ahead.

RIP Now you can fly with the real angels Farrah

laughing kitty @ 06/25/2009 at 3:24 pm

An angel was called home . . . .
Rest in peace Farrah. Her family and friends will be in my thoughts and prayers. Now she can be at peace and free of pain.

Loved, loved loved her. There was no other person like her. She was not the greatest actress, but I would say she was along the lines of one of those celebrities that anything she touched had turned to gold.

Does anyone know if she remained close with Lee Majors and if so was he around the time of her death?

I love her… I’ll never forget you…. Thank you for everything

God bless her. She was a fighter and a beautiful lady inside and outside. May she rest in peace.

Bradley B @ 06/25/2009 at 3:41 pm

My heart and Prayers go out to Farrah Fawcett’s family RIP Farrah.

How beautiful she was! RIP Farrrah. My condolences to her family.

My God. This is so sad. Being only in my 20’s, I never had an opinion of Ms. Fawcett either way, but as someone who lost her mother from this terrible disease, my heart broke into a million pieces when I saw Redmond crawl into bed with her on her tv documentary. I couldn’t watch past that scene, it hit way to close to home for me (I was 19 when I lost my mother). My heart goes out to her family and i hope that she had a fast and peaceful journey to Heaven.

Yes, her dad was Lebonese-American and her mom Irish. You can research it - I am a big fan so I know a lot about her. I think the mix of the two cultures made her look truly exotic. Those cheekbones! Also, I think Farrah had a degree in like Microbiology from U of Texas. The woman was super smart. And a talented painter. Love Farrah! Love her!

She was a elegant, pretty and brave lady
Prayers to her family. I´m really, really sad, because a saw many epsodes for “Thea Charlie´s Angels. And I loved.

Farrah was an American icon that dealt with her cancer with dignity and grace.I have always envied and admired her over the years. I hope Ryan and especially Redmond will find peace. She is not suffering anymore and she would want you to stay on track. Your family is in my prayers. Farrah helped many and inspired millions with her documentary (and the Burning Bed) about cancer, may she rest in peace.

RIP Farrah We all miss you :(

From the moment I saw this woman on TV Guide or TV shows, I said she was going to be the biggest star on the planet at some point and she was.
Hands down, this was the most beautiful face the world has ever seen.
You can compare her to anyone, she was it.
RIP Farrah.

Countess von Zinzendorf @ 06/25/2009 at 4:40 pm

We will miss you dearly but you are now in a better place with our Lord.

you will be missed!

cannot believe she is gone….so so so sad…

FOREVER A ANGEL. WILL BE DEARLY MISSED.

R.I.P

I liked her because she fought to be a SERIOUS actress. She could have spent a lot of years ‘playing off her looks’ .like some people, but she had more respect for herself and her craft. She left at hot TV series and never looked back. A gracious lady and a great actress.

It’s very sad to see someone so full of life and courage to pass away at such a relatively young age. It also goes to show “alternative” and “holistic” medicine is a real waste of money and effort. I think we can learn a lot from her documentary. May she rest in peace.

Lorraine Smith @ 06/25/2009 at 5:51 pm

I remember her well in Charlie’s Angels. God bless her!

I add my sincere condolences to her family & friends. She will be missed.

Rest in peace Farrah and Michael J.

I am so sad. RIP.

RIP Farrah.

Mary Olive Doyle @ 06/25/2009 at 9:14 pm

So sorry for the families loss.

Farrah was so strong and courageous. She fought it until she couldn’t go any further. The suffering is over and now she is young and beautiful again. Even though the cancer made her look sickly, she was still beautiful. You made your mark on this planet…Farrah. We will miss your presence.

RIP Farah, you will always be the Sunshine Lady to me. I think of your compassion, beauty and goodness I am floored and minor compared to you. I am glad you are no longer in pain and I hope you are in heaven right now. Rest in peace beautiful soul, beautiful hair, beautiful Sunshine Lady.

Yes I watched Charlie Angels and those Brett commercial. You will be miss.

RIP Farrah :(

You knew it was probably going to happen soon, but it still sucks. RIP Farrah.

RIP lovely Farrah. Too young to go ,so sad.

What a gorgeous lady always loved her. My heart goes out to her family. You wil be missed Farrah. RIP.

Farrah was such a great angel in Charlies Angels. She also played was it Susan Smith? or another mother who killed her children. Was a very serious movie and FF did an excellent job with the role as the mother. I admired her for being very serious about wanting meatier roles.
Today feel saddened to know she is gone.
After a long battle Farrah is with the Angels in heaven now.

RIP

evil jenho fans @ 06/25/2009 at 11:02 pm

farrah is a true beauty with talent. she will be missed.

Sad to hear she’s gone; no less on the same day as Michael Jackson. Quite unfortunate.

(Concerning “lala”’s comment: Too young? Considering her struggle with cancer, 62 was quite a respectable age. )
