On June 25, 2009, the day when legends Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett passed away, there was Hollywood sadness. Around 12 hours apart, on June 25, 2009, music icon Michael Jackson and actress Farrah Fawcett both passed away, leaving the entertainment industry and fans with a double grief.
When she was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006, Fawcett, who inspired millions of women to mimic her feather-cut hairstyle, battled with all of her strength.
After being pronounced cancer-free in 2007, the actress and model later learned that the disease had spread to her liver.
“There is a purpose behind all of this. She states in a documentary that her closest friend, Alana Stewart, created at her request and which tracked her battle with cancer: “It is a test to my very core, to my strength, my intellect, my spirit and my soul.
At the age of 62, Fawcett passed away at 2:28 a.m. on June 25, 2009, in the emergency room of Providence St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California. The day before, at 2:26 p.m., music icon Michael Jackson passed away. Her passing occurred nearly precisely 12 hours later.
In the movie, she claims she “won’t ever compromise” on her “want to live. I’m not going to sleep softly that night.
Both domestically and abroad, Fawcett sought experimental therapies.
She was brave, according to her doctor.
Texas is where Fawcett was born. With her attractive appearance and well-known feather cut, she relocated to California to seek a modelling career.
With 12 million copies sold, a 1976 poster featuring Fawcett in a red bathing suit is the most popular poster ever.
Along with Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith, Fawcett was a founding member of “Charlie’s Angels.” Cheryl Ladd took Fawcett’s place after she left the programme after just one season.
From 1973 to 1982, Fawcett was wed to actor Lee Majors. After that, she dated actor Ryan O’Neal on and off up until her passing. Redmond O’Neal, their son, was born.
Fawcett starred in the failed films “Logan’s Run” in 1976, “Sunburn” in 1979, and “Saturn 3” in 1980, according to biography.com.
