In Memoriam-Farrah Fawcett

This is a horrible week of losses in the entertainment world.
Farrah Fawcett lost her long battle with cancer today.
Miss Fawcett was about as big a cultural icon as there could be in the late 70's and early 80's. Although she was only on Charlie's Angels for one season, she is the most recognized person and image from that show.
After leaving the show she never quite had the film success she was trying for. She did find success in television movies, and gave a great performance in the feature film The Apostle.
There are maybe one of two figures that come along each decade that seem to be the poster person for that time. Farrah Fawcett was one of those people.
Rest in peace.
