I was saddened today to hear of Farrah Fawcett's passing. She was a classy lady and her battle against cancer bore testament to her determination and courage. One of my best friends in high school had her poster on his bedroom wall and I remember how much she influenced all my girl friends, who ran around with enormous winged hair and gold throat bracelets, just like Farrah.
Later on, she bowled me over with her searing portrayal of an abused woman in "The Burning Bed." Though she could act, she never seemed to take herself or her outrageous fame too seriously, something a few of today's up-and-coming stars should take a lesson from.
We'll miss you, Farrah. You defined a generation, and those of us who grew up watching you will never forget you.

It's sad. Charlie's Angels was my favorite show growing up. Farrah and company were the first ones to mold my very young mind into believing women could do and be whatever they wanted to be. While Jaclyn Smith was always my favorite Angel, Farrah will always be in my heart.
