I remember as a child having a huge crush Farah. I fondly recollect while living in New York as a kid. Seeing here on Charlie's Angels.
As young boys several of my friends and I had this very poster up on our walls. We thought she was the ...........well at that age I think you know what I mean.
Apparently she is nearing here time with her battle with cancer and there is a movie that is coming out this weekend that she wished to have placed out on NBC I think however I think there were many things that we did not know about her but made judgments - I guess that goes with the territory of stardom, yet she is human and seemingly she was and has been so judged in a time in which there is no privacy in our modern day world. We came to see here on Letterman and a variety of shows now and then not knowing why she was acting as she was maybe there was much more to the story.
A private person as I read and yet she did some marvelous things and really set the pace during her time. I don’t know about you but I think that much like many regardless of the outcome her legend will live on.
I look forward to seeing this movie that she is going to be placing out and in many ways she was the most popular person in the mid 70's. She did several movies for television. But I think that probably from what I read and saw of recent she has been fighting this illness for some time and then this relapse came back.

She was more than just a blond bombshell. She has also done some damn fine acting in serious roles. I do remember seeing her on Letterman. We just never know...
ReplyDeleteI had one of those posters. I worked with a guy who lived across the street from her in Houston. He said she was a bitch. Of course, he was gay. LOL
ReplyDeleteWho knows what about whom?
ReplyDeleteNewspapers and TV full of informations about others.
But sometimes,we dont know even oneself - how to know somebnody else?
I thought it was worth the mentioning as one never does know but she truly was someone that seemed to be very mistaken in times where with many new actors anything goes...for many.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the share Cal.
ReplyDeleteWe don't we only know whom we can touch and see and this was something with the intention of a tribute to her as what seemingly is the case - is that we do know that she will not be alive much longer.
ReplyDeleteBut our fond recollections of her can...
Sad to see an icon of my youth overcome by this dreaded disease.
ReplyDeleteIn the end, we are all human--vulnerable and potentially victims of disease and fraility.
Sue, it is but we come in and we go out but what I find that she was so scrutinized over the last five years and I look foward to seeing this show that the has left till Friday to come out.
ReplyDeleteIt's sad not only that she is so ill, but that Farah Fawcett has had to suffer the indignity of being hounded by predatory media outlets like The National Enquirer. I would guess she is doing this program to have some control over her image and for the personal dignity that the tabloid media strips from all those they cover.
ReplyDeleteDoug yeah...I watched a special on here last night.
ReplyDeleteI think she her wish is to do just as you say. I thought she was great and then when seeing everything on here and the scandals even on Letterman - maybe she was on something for a reason. Perhaps we will know more of that person come this weekend.
Dignity, I think she was a very private type of person right from the start now after reading and doing a little research on her.
Our role is to just give compassion....figuring out when to do that is our mission....I just started a new bible study...some will criticize me for studying it....
ReplyDeleteMy best friend made a scap album of Farah. He had the same poster in his room and many other posters of her. The album was really big. He still has it but it has been a long time...
ReplyDeleteI remember him having a crush on her when we were in 5th grade! haha
Hope she can beat this horrible illness.
ReplyDeleteHowever this is your own right...by choice.
ReplyDeleteI would hope, but as they have stopped all medicine and therapy it seems that she is going too another horizon. So they report.
ReplyDeleteSeems to me a lot of celebrities are getting cancer now, just goes to show it is not a respecter of persons! As you and I both know first hand, it is a terrible disease and I send prayers out for every family touched by this terrible disease.
ReplyDeleteCancer is a prevalent thing and I don't know where the stats are now but I wrote this about her Wendy.
ReplyDeleteYes, we have both been through it and with all that if there is one desease that is curable as it's on the climb it would be cancer for me. This name here.
Ohh I didnt know that she had cancer.I hope she will overcome it.
