American Actress and Icon; Farrah Fawcett. Fawcett, a Texan, who shot to super stardom in the seventies with her superstar smile and beautiful blonde hair. Fawcett became a star before the internet existed. She was thirty-years old when she snagged a TV Pilot that no one thought would make it past its debut but the entire world knew who Fawcett was after her premiere in Charlie’s Angels. Along with the series she had a little poster that sold millions. It was dubbed the Farrah-Phenomenon. Fawcett left the series after one season and did what no one thought she could do: be taken seriously as an actress. Fawcett went on to acting success and was nominated for an Emmy & Golden Globe for her work as Francine Hughes in The Burning Bed, she was also nominated for a Golden Globe for her work in Poor Little Rich GirlandSmall Sacrifices. Fawcett received the Cable Ace Award for her performance in Double Exposure: The Margaret Bourke-White Story along with other nominated works. There are several clips throughout this site of different performances. Fawcett passed away (June 25, 2009) after a courageous and very public battle with cancer which she chronicled in the Emmy nominated Farrah’s Story on NBC.
