Farrah Fawcett

Actress Farrah Fawcett had the warm, megawatt smile of an angel and her feathered mane was as good as a halo. Best known for her brief but memorable role on TV's "Charlie's Angels," Fawcett stole men's hearts and inspired a trend that had women all over the world curling and spraying their way to winged perfection.
The pop icon died Thursday in a Santa Monica, Calif., hospital after losing a long, very public battle with anal and liver cancer. She was 62.

Over the years, Fawcett's other TV credits included the small-screen flick "Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story" (1987), "Small Sacrifices" (1989), and "Criminal Behavior" (1992). As for movie credits, she co-starred in "Logan's Run," "Saturn 3," 1997's "The Apostle," and 2000's "Dr. T and the Women."
When Fawcett appeared on "Late Show with David Letterman," to promote "The Apostle," she delivered a loopy and distracted interview that led many to speculate she was on drugs. She later blamed her strange behavior on questionable advice from her mother to be playful.
In 2005, Fawcett headlined her own reality show "Chasing Farrah." TV Land, which produced the series, is rebroadcasting the first two...
