Farrah Fawcett Dies At 62
Access Hollywood - June 25, 2009 8:48 AM PDT
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Farrah Fawcett has died after a long battle with cancer, Access Hollywood has confirmed.
Farrah died at 9:28 AM on Thursday at St. John's Hospital in Santa Monica, Calif.
She was 62.
"After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away," Farrah's longtime companion, Ryan O'Neal, said in a statement to Access. "Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world."
The actress, best known for her role in the '70s TV show "Charlie's Angels" and her iconic hair, was in the hospital earlier this month and a source close to Farrah told Access Hollywood at the time that she was not doing well.
While her condition was deteriorating, those closest to Farrah wanted to take her home for her final days.
Her death comes just days after O'Neal revealed he had asked Farrah to be his wife.
READ MORE HERE Sad as I had been following her health status ever since she took for the worse this year. Didn't really grow up with shows she's in but still sadden to see another actress' life cut short due to Cancer.
Ya, Cancer haven't affected my family yet but still..........sad to hear so many people scumbing to it as it's the big killer these days as we managed to eliminate or surpress normal diseases like TB or Polio or Smallpox.
Must eat healthily, exercise a good amount (Heh, like someone said at the SaintSeiyaFan Forum, if you dun want to be like Kardia, make sure get a good Cardio Vascula Exercise regulary! Wait, isn't he BORN with the Degenerative Heart Disease?) and stay cool as much as possible.
And yes, dun forget to pray more often.
