Farrah Fawcette

Farrah Fawcette

Just ask your father or grandfather about Farrah Fawcett. There is a good chance they will start drooling, thinking about their memories of watching her. They might have even had her poster on their wall! Many men did! She was one of the original Charlie's Angels, the crime fighting, all-girl team. She was married to the Six Million Dollar Man, Lee Majors, so for the time they were married, they were quite the power couple. Nowadays we have three different sets of Charlie's Angels women, from the 2000s movie series and the newest 2019 picture.

After a while, she decided to move away from her sex symbol role and pursue more serious roles. Tragically, she died at the age of 62 from cancer. She is survived by her husband, Ryan O'neal who she was with for 29 years.
