He was one of the most stunning faces on television. Farrah Fawcett became very popular in the 70s, for her role as Jill Munroe in the legendary television series Charlie’s Angels . The actress died on June 25, 2009 early in the morning, in a Los Angeles hospital, where she was admitted due to colon cancer, a disease she had suffered for three years. Shortly before the sad news, it was made public that she had decided to marry Ryan O’Neal, with whom she lived an intermittent ‘Love Story’ for three decades, and with whom she had had a son. Finally, she has not given them time to get married.

Born on February 2, 1947 in Corpus Christi, a town in Texas, Farrah Leni Fawcett was the daughter of a housewife and a businessman in the oil sector. Since she was little, she was very fond of sports, and she stood out for her enormous beauty. So much so that she succeeded in the late 1960s in the world of advertising, where she swept over everything with her shampoo ads.

She began to take her first steps as an actress playing a brief role in the French film Of love and infidelity , by Claude Lelouch . She then became a guest star in various series of the time, such as My Beautiful Genius or Harrelson’s Men . But the man who made her a celebrity was TV guru Aaron Spelling, who cast her as the life of her on Charlie’s Angels . She became so famous that she decided to leave the series early to succeed in the cinema. She got off to a good start, starring in Stanley Donen’s Saturn 3 , a sci-fi film with Kirk Douglas .. But later, she was not offered roles for the big screen, so in the end she was not able to revalidate his television fame in the cinema. Also, although in Charlie’s Angels she was replaced by Cheryl Ladd , she was under contract, and the production company decided to sue her. In the end, a judge forced her to participate in six episodes of the series in subsequent seasons.

She spent a lot of time making telefilms, although she sometimes appeared in films like The Fools at the Cannonball , Road to Heaven , and Dr. T and the Women . Before joining Ryan O’Neal she was married to actor Lee Majors .
