Fawcett was a sex symbol whose iconic poster, released the same year Charlie's Angels premiered, broke sales records, making her an international pop culture icon. Her hairstyle was emulated by millions of young women in the 1970s and early 1980s. Fawcett died at approximately 9:28 am, PDT on 25 June 2009, in the intensive care unit of Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California, with O'Neal and Stewart by her side. A private funeral was held in Los Angeles on 30 June.[56] Fawcett's son Redmond was permitted to leave his California detention center to attend his mother's funeral, where he gave the first reading. The night of her death, ABC aired an hour-long special episode of 20/20 featuring clips from several of Barbara Walters' past interviews with Fawcett as well as new interviews with Ryan O'Neal, Jaclyn Smith, Alana Stewart, and Dr. Lawrence Piro. Walters followed up on the story on Friday's episode of 20/20. CNN's Larry King Live planned a show exclusively about Fawcett that evening until the death of Michael Jackson several hours later caused the program to shift to cover both stories. Cher, a longtime friend of Fawcett, and Suzanne de Passe, executive producer of Fawcett's Small Sacrifices mini-series, both paid tribute to Fawcett on the program. NBC aired a Dateline NBC special "Farrah Fawcett: The Life and Death of an Angel" the following evening, 26 June, preceded by a rebroadcast of Farrah's Story in prime time. That weekend and the following week, television tributes continued. MSNBC aired back-to-back episodes of its Headliners and Legends episodes featuring Fawcett and Jackson. TV Land aired a mini-marathon of Charlie's Angels and Chasing Farrah episodes. E! aired Michael & Farrah: Lost Icons and the The Biography Channel aired Bio Remembers: Farrah Fawcett. The documentary Farrah's Story re-aired on the Oxygen Network and MSNBC. Larry King said of the Fawcett phenomenon, “ TV had much more impact back in the '70s than it does today. Charlie's Angels got huge numbers every week – nothing really dominates the television landscape like that today. Maybe American Idol comes close, but now there are so many channels and so many more shows it's hard for anything to get the audience, or amount of attention, that Charlie's Angels got. Farrah was a major TV star when the medium was clearly dominant." Playboy founder Hugh Hefner said "Farrah was one of the iconic beauties of our time. Her girl-next-door charm combined with stunning looks made her a star on film, TV and the printed page." Kate Jackson said, “ She was a selfless person who loved her family and friends with all her heart, and what a big heart it was. Farrah showed immense courage and grace throughout her illness and was an inspiration to those around her... I will remember her kindness, her cutting dry wit and, of course, her beautiful smile...when you think of Farrah, remember her smiling because that is exactly how she wanted to be remembered: smiling.” In March 2010, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences caused controversy when Fawcett was excluded from the "In Memoriam" montage at the 82nd Academy Awards ceremony, along with fellow television stars Bea Arthur, Gene Barry and Ed McMahon. In addition to Ryan and Tatum O'Neal, friends and colleagues of Fawcett publicly expressed their outrage at the oversight, including actress Jane Fonda and film critic Roger Ebert.[63] AMPAS executive director Bruce Davis cited Fawcett's recognition at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards for her "remarkable television work," and said of all the exclusions: "There's nothing you can say to people, particularly to family members, within a day or two of the show that helps at all. They tend to be surprised and hurt, and we understand that and we're sorry for it." She is buried at the Westwood Village Memorial Park in Los Angeles.
- Farrah Fawcett was an American Model and TV actress, married to Lee Majors and using a double-barrelled surname between 1973 and 1982. Between 1979 and 1997; then 2001 to her death in 2009 from Anal Cancer, she had an on-off relationship with Ryan O'Neal, having one kid, though they never got married. She played a silent cameo of herself in a dream sequence in the episode Bart Gets Famous. Her most well loved and known role is as Jill Munroe in the 1976 Series 1 of Charlie's Angels and her cameos in the rest of the series. Her red swimsuit poster is the highest selling Pin Up Girl poster of all time.
- Farrah Fawcett-Majors — later known simply as Farrah Fawcett — was married to Lee Majors during the period that The Six Million Dollar Man was in production (1973-78) and featured as a guest star in four episodes of the series - one in each of the show's first four seasons - between spring 1974 and fall 1976. Her first and final appearances were as popular character Major Kelly Woods, America's first woman in Space (in the fictitious Bionic Universe; in reality Sally Ride would have this honor nine years later). Fawcett's first involvement with The Six Million Dollar Man actually predates her debut as Kelly Woods, as in 1973 she participated in a photoshoot promoting a tuxedo-clad Lee Majors as Steve Austin, during the period when ABC attempted to retool Austin into a James Bond-like character. Farrah's final on-screen appearance on The Six Million Dollar Man aired in late September 1976, at a point when she was on the cusp of superstardom and 1970s iconic staus. Earlier in 1976 a swimsuit poster featuring Farrah became one of the biggest-selling images in history, and in March 1976 she made her first appearance as Jill Monroe in the pilot for a glamorous detective series called Charlie's Angels. The series proper debuted only a week before her final appearance on The Six Million Dollar Man, and while she only stayed with Charlie's Angels for a year, it was enough to establish her as one of the most famous women in America. The role also somewhat stereotyped her as a "dumb blonde", despite her previous work as characters such as Major Kelly Woods. Fawcett's actual final appearance on the series comes at the end of the episode Season 4 episode "The Most Dangerous Enemy" when a magazine featuring photos of her is visible. This odd metafictional moment occurs only two weeks after her final appearance as Kelly and was likely an in-joke relating to the fact her series Charlie's Angels had just debuted. Although made iconic by Charlie's Angels, Fawcett actually quit the series after only one season (though she'd continue to make occasional guest appearances in order to fulfill her contract). Despite no longer being tied to Charlie's Angels, Fawcett did not make an appearance in Season 5 of The Six Million Dollar Man. Aside from Charlie's Angels, Fawcett also had a small role in the groundbreaking 1976 science fiction film Logan's Run as "Holly". After leaving Charlie's Angels in 1977, Fawcett made a string of unsuccessful films such as the science fiction film Saturn 3, and was also forced by ABC legal action into making a half-dozen guest appearances on Charlie's Angels, before gaining critical approval for her role in the groundbreaking TV movie The Burning Bed in 1984 for which she was nominated for an Emmy. Additional nominations would follow for her work in Small Sacrifices (1990) and The Guardian (2003). Fawcett continued to work throughout the 1990s, and sporadically thereafter. In 1979 Fawcett seperated from Lee Majors, and began a relationship with Ryan O'Neal, with whom she had a son Redmond and with whom she remained close for the rest of her life. She divorced Lee Majors in 1982, at which point she dropped the "-Majors" from her name. Ironically, beginning in 1981 her now-ex-husband would reference her by name while singing the theme song for his series, The Fall Guy. Her personal life also made headlines; a bizarre 1993 appearance on Late Night with David Letterman raised questions about her well-being. Fawcett appeared in two Playboy pictorials, one in 1995, and another in 1997 which was accompanied by a controversial pay-per-view television special. In 1998, following an argument with then boyfriend, Hollywood producer, James Orr, Fawcett confronted him at his home brandishing a baseball bat. Orr responded by attacking Fawcett, and was convicted of battery and sentenced to three years' probation. In 2006 it was reported that Fawcett was suffering from anal cancer, to which she finally succumbed on June 25th, 2009 after a long struggle - chronicled in the 2009 TV documentary Farrah's Story that aired shortly before her death. Fawcett was portrayed by Canadian fashion model-turned-actress Tricia Helfer in the 2004 telefilm Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of 'Charlie's Angels' which followed her rise to fame and its affect on her marriage to Lee Majors (played by Farscape's Ben Browder).
