RIP.
I was in the security line immediately behind her in `02 or `03 at the airport for a redeye flight out of LAX. We were both on the same flight to Dallas, IIRC, though I was changing planes there and going on to Charlotte, NC. Ms. Fawcett wasn't in the best of health even then; she could walk, but used a wheelchair to go from the security line to the plane. The TSA selected her for more thorough screening than the metal detector walk through, which made me a bit irritated at the time. She wasn't in good health, was obviously not a suicide bomber, and yet in nod to political correctness, the TSA put her through the extra screening-D-U-M-B! She was a good sport about it though, just like most of us are.

Saw the headline on the Yahoo site. Sad. RIP, Farrah. Had a crush on you when I was in college. Didn't we all?

This is such a sad ending to her journey through our hearts and minds. She had a million watt smile and I will always remember her for that and also her courage later on in life.

I think she made a big impression on our whole generation, as an object of desire for the boys, a role model for the girls (me too), and a wonderful performer and friend to her peers.

To see her show the world the true face of cancer took more courage than most of us have. I am happy for her that her pain is over, although I know she did not want cancer to "win" she had suffered through it with courage and dignity. Rest in Peace Farrah!

It's a sad day, Farrah and Michael Jackson. Ed McMahon too just a few days ago. Every time one of the Icons from when I was growing up passes on I feel a bit older.
Anyway, thanks to all three for some great entertainment over the years, you will all be missed.

Sad, very sad.
Another true cultural icon from the 70's.
Peace.
