Charlie’s Angels star loses battle with cancer…
Golden Globe and Emmy Award nominated actress Farrah Fawcett has died after a three year battle with cancer, aged 62. The star became a pop culture icon and sex symbol through her role as Jill Munroe in the classic 70’s television show Charlie’s Angels, and her death comes just days after long time partner Ryan O’Neal announced that the couple had agreed to marry.
With Charlie’s Angels providing her breakthrough, Fawcett went on to appear in a number of big-screen productions including Logan’s Run (1976), The Cannonball Run (1981), Extremities (1986), and The Apostle (1997). She also earned critical acclaim for her work on TV movies The Burning Bed (1984), Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story (1987), and Small Sacrificies (1989), and her small-screen credits include guest roles in series such as The Six Million Dollar Man (alongside ex-husband Lee Majors), Ally McBeal, Spin City, and The Guardian.
