Old Farrah work

I found this on my old backup drive. I did this on a very old Mac. I think this has to be at least 5 years old... also a charcoal drawing... scans of that...

I think the charcoal was done about 1994 or 5...

Below is a pencil drawing I did... not sure of the year on this one either.

It's actually in color but didn't scan well, so I made it black and white via PhotoShop.

In my room

This photo of Fawcett, I remember, hanging in my dorm room. There’s an old Polaroid of it somewhere. I believe it was 1981. I was a Freshman at Hastings College in Hastings, NE. I don’t think I ever thought I would get to meet Farrah at that time. I’ve started reading Alana’s book and account of her time with Fawcett. The foreword is very touching. Alan struggled with this book and her interview on the Today show (with Meredith V.) about the book is touching. Alana “get’s it” and is respectful and honest and forthright (seemingly so) about the relationship and the “why’s” of her choice and struggle throughout Farrah’s battle. In spite and despite some of the negative press circling Alana and Ryan O’Neal, the reality is: Farrah loved who she loved and in the end, I find it hard to believe or understand why she’d keep those close to her when she needed the most support of all if there wasn’t an underlying love for those around here. I’m not speculating about romantic love, just a love in general. At any rate, it’s still a little strange to think that Fawcett’s gone. Alana said she wants the book to be a tribute to friendship. I think she achieved that goal. I also, deeply, respect Alana’s choice to stop writing about Fawcett dying. That speaks volumes about the depth of her respect and love for Farrah.

This gal is not Farrah Fawcett...

I'd meant to post this earlier... I was thumbing through a major publication and a picture was shown with the caption "Farrah Fawcett." The woman photographed wasn't and isn't Farrah Fawcett. Since then I've seen photos of her on-line. Really? People can't tell the difference?

Vanity Fair/CNN

The latest issue of Vanity Fair has two covers, one featuring Fawcett the other featuring Jackson. Be sure to get a copy. It has an interesting article inside with interviews with Ryan O’Neal, Alana Stewart and others who were close to Fawcett. Also of note is the interview Griffin O’Neal gave to CNN regarding O’Neal and what his take on Ryan’s actions and what transpired throughout the relationship and even more so the night of the fiasco that was to be Fawcett’s birthday celebration. The O’Neal’s have a long and turbulent history of violence, substance abuse and difficulties that have been well documented over the years. It’s a sad reflection and focus after the passing of Fawcett. On a personal note, I wish they could’ve left Fawcett’s last moments to herself and between those in the room that experienced them. I think it’s poor form to relay and share that kind of moment with anyone other than family. There’s no “right to know” here.

The Hours | The Angels

I had to tinker with it now that I was looking at it again...

The Original THE HOURS poster, Streep, Moore and Kidman

Jaclyn Smith, Cheryl Ladd, Kate Jackson & Farrah Fawcett in THE ANGELS

I like this one best!

I did this graphic for the slideshow you see on MyFarrah.com only it was done at the time this movie was out and in the theatres. I didn't realize, until I was looking in my folder, that there was a typo on the bottom one, which I didn't use, but liked the best.

Fawcett photo from LIFE

I remember this photo being used in TIME Magazine, years ago, when she was appearing in EXTREMITIES in New York. A great photo and I remember cutting it out and posting it on a board and thinking just how cute she looked.

Nominees for the prestigious Emmy Awards were announced today, but for one it was too late to join the celebrations. Farrah Fawcett died of cancer three weeks ago, but her documentary charting her battle against the disease has been nominated in the nonfiction special category. 'It's very bittersweet. Farrah passed away three weeks ago today,' said Alana Stewart, who helped film her longtime friend for Farrah's Story. 'I know that she would be so, so happy. This was so important to her, this project. 'She's been nominated before, and I just know that this would be the most important one of all.'

Her Life In Pictures Via People Grade: D

A blurry and vapid quick print.

People Magazine’s Tribute to Farrah, “Remembering Farrah Her Life in Pictures” is disappointingly vapid and of poor quality. Many images, such as her famous poster, are bitmapped, blurry and fuzzy and the contrast is off. When I was in Los Angeles last week I looked and looked for this edition. When I got back to San Diego I ordered it on EBay after scouring most of San Diego, for twice the sticker price. But today, I stopped in at the magazine stand on the way to the gym and asked if they were going to get any in. To my surprise, they had four. It’s a fluff piece and not very well put together. I’m hoping someone will take the time and do the research and put something more appropriate and certainly of a better quality than what I see here. I’m really disappointed. For a woman who was one of the most photographed women of her time it’s mostly stock images and images you can find on any Google search. She graced the covers of People magazine many times, I expected more. If I was grading this, I’d have to give it a D. I’ve always said, “Rush it, flush it.” This is a great example of hurrying to get something out but not being careful about what is generated. There really is no excuse for the sloppy and blurry images along with the bad adjustments made to the contrast and hue saturation. Farrah deserved a better tribute. I expected more from a Publisher that brags about their prowess as a leader in the entertainment industry and how selective they are about their cover model selection. BAD JOB People. You blew it.

Farrah Fawcett reconnected with ex Lee Majors after more than 20 years of silence

Farrah Fawcett reconnected with ex Lee Majors after more than 20 years of silence

After over two decades of estrangement, Farrah Fawcett spoke with her ex husband Lee Majors months before her death, USmagazine.com reports.

The two were married in 1973 and separated in 1979. They both were at the height of their respective fame; she with "Charlie's Angels" and he with the "Six Million Dollar Man."

Fawcett was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006 and it was then that Majors first attempted to make contact with her.

"He didn't feel like he could reach out to her himself - it had just been too long but he still cared about her deeply," US magazine reports through a source. "He would send funny messages to her through friends, and she would do the same, and it was very sweet."

This past February, in the midst of the battle for her life, Fawcett received a call from Majors on her birthday.

"They had a 40-minute phone conversation about her life and the cancer and it was such a lovely moment for the two of them. I guess it was a good conversation. They joked and they got a little bit emotional," a source told US.

After divorcing Majors, Fawcett entered a long-term relationship with Ryan O'Neal. Although he proposed again and again, Fawcett only agreed to marry him a few days before her death.

The source reported to Us magazine that while both Majors and Fawcett had moved on in their personal lives, the small reunion was very special to both of them.

Fawcett's medical treatment funded by billionaire pal

Farrah Fawcett had her billionaire pal Kirk Kerkorian to thank for helping her fight against anal cancer -- he funded the actress' trips to Germany to seek alternative medical treatment.

The "Charlie's Angels" star was diagnosed with the disease in 2006. She underwent chemotherapy and was declared cancer-free after just four months.

But her happiness was short-lived -- in 2007, a tumor was found in the same area that was previously operated on. Fawcett was faced with few treatment options and she refused to let doctors perform a colostomy on her.

Instead, she decided to try a holistic approach, and traveled to Germany for medical treatment which has yet to be approved in her native U.S.

Fawcett continued to battle the disease until her death on June 25, and Kerkorian's generosity could have given the star a little more time with her loved ones.

A representative for the 92-year-old mogul confirms to the New York Daily News that he helped to pay for Fawcett's medical care, while a source tells the publication, "He just saw a friend in pain and wanted to help."
