New Farrah Doll on the way...

The proto-type pictured here next to the Iconic poster of Fawcett.
At first glance my initial thought was, "The hair is not quite right." Overall it's a nice presentation to Fawcett. It's not quite her, like the latest dolls for Cher looked almost exactly like her, but it's nice overall. Excited to see what the final doll will look like? You won't have to wait long, it's part of Barbie's Blonde Doll event.

Fawcett in Space

Fawcett in Saturn 3
Remember Farrah in Saturn 3? It wasn't a great movie but she did co-star with Kirk Douglas and  Harvel Keitel (Who was in The Piano with Oscar Winner Holly Hunter).  She was quoted in an interview that the story/film ended up being very different from the original script which was also titled, "The Helper." The Year: 1980. But she did look lovely. 

You can watch it here.

Fawcett Foundation to open its doors

Alana Stewart, longtime Farrah Fawcett pal, finds it hard to talk about the star without getting emotional. "I'll get very teary and miss her, but I feel her spirit is so strong, I feel like she went to a place where she's free, she's happy, and I feel she's looking over all of us."
She tells Entertainment Tonight that she thinks a big part of the star's legacy will be the Farrah Fawcett Foundation. Farrah created it several years ago, but was too busy battling cancer to devote much time to it. Now, says Stewart, "we're officially opening the offices on Friday, the one-year anniversary of her passing. I think it's very fitting. I think it's what she would have wanted."


The mission of the Farrah Fawcett Foundation is to provide funding for alternative methods of cancer research, clinical trials, prevention and awareness.

ABC Photos of Fawcett tribute

Actress Farrah Fawcett embodied an American icon through her simple charm. Millions of women emulated her "winged" hairstyle made famous in the television series "Charlie's Angels." She began her career with appearances in commercials, best known for her Wella Balsam shampoo ads. Fawcett's first breakthrough performances on television included roles in "I Dream of Jeannie" (1965) and "The Partridge Family" (1970). The Texas native was nominated for six Golden Globe awards and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1995. She has one son, Redmond O'Neal, with longtime companion and actor Ryan O'Neal. Although O'Neal and Fawcett ended their relationship in 1997, he remained by her side throughout her battle with cancer.
