Farrah Fawcett

It's been almost 9 yrs since Farrah died; I remember it was the same day as Michael Jackson died.

I was never much into the Charlie's Angels TV show, but I thought she did an excellent job on 2 movies - both of which were kind of hard to watch:

The Burning Bed

Extremities

I watched Extremities last night (I've seen in a couple times before).

I always liked her work AND her looks.

Yep! She was really hot!

Not too long before she died at age 62, I watched a documentary where she had someone shave her head. It was quite powerful.

This hung on my son's bedroom wall for quite a long while.

A change for the better in her acting career as she became older. Must have disappointed a few guys but a thumbs up to her.

This hung on my son's bedroom wall for quite a long while.

Ditto! (Are we related?)

I was reading up on "Extremities":

The movie was based on a Broadway play. Actor James Russo played the would-be rapist in the play and the movie. What a nasty, sadistic piece of work he was.

Farrah actually replaced Susan Sarandon in the play and then was cast for the movie. (nothing negative; maybe Susan was ill or had another commitment...I don't know)

I didn't realize the real Francine Hughes (Burning Bed) died last year at age 69.
