Unhappy Oh, Farrah may you rest in peace - 06-25-2009, 12:23 PM


If you have not heard Farrah Fawcett lost her battle to cancer earlier today. We lost one strong Texas lady and after that special that aired about her a couple weeks ago a lot of fond memories of her Poster and acting career came back.

So I hope that her partner and son can hang tough through this time of grief.

A rough life for sure, not always the glitz and glamour we saw in public. I know some of her family and while some of her history was a bit embarassing to them, they loved her regardless. Fame can take us places we never would imagine, not always good.

RIP

She inspired a generation of girls to do really weird things with their hair, too.

I hope she was able to marry Ryan before she went. It was a real pleasure to meet her. These are photos of her with the coaching staff where her little sister went to school here in Houston (1976). All I have left are the contact sheets. The negatives were destroyed.

I love Ferrah Fawcett hair. I'll mourn her much more than Michael Jackson.

One very courageous lady, I hope she is at peace now and Ryan and Red can carry on stronger for having known her.

Not sure if it was love but it was surely something!

Of course then Miss Ladd showed up on the Angels which was a nice replacement as well.

The one thing I will remember her the most is her passion and honor in the way she held herself in the battle with Cancer.

Truly she is the Brightest Star that passed today - without any question, she had talent and was a good person!
