Another part of my youth fades away. All of the girls I knew wanted to be her, all of the guys I knew wanted to do her, and all of the gay men wanted to do her hair.
I think I’ll mourn her death more than Michael Jackson’s.
I give her a lot of credit for doing the movie “The Burning Bed.” She really helped bring discussion of domestic violence into the mainstream. Thank you Farrah. I’m sorry that your death won’t get the attention it deserves.
MJ–too funny–and you’re right–the girls weren’t even jealous, the boys were actually skittish, and the barber shops went unisex ( I swear those English lads still crop their hair that way). She gave Clairol back a business, because electric curlers and blow dryers were as standard as a toothbrush.
Something always overshadowed her late career. She could have done something good, tried hard to draw attention (for good things, not for selfish notariety) to her illness, but something in the news or pop culture just seemed to take away the attention. Not to be crude, but even yesterday, she was again overshadowed and became a side-bar to the bigger story. Her memory deserved much better than it got. This is no offense to Michael Jackson at all. The mark he left earned him the rememberances he is getting. I just feel bad that Farrah was literally pushed aside almost as if nothing happened.
It’s difficult to believe that she is the same age as my mother.
I didn’t know that nipples were actually evil until the Janet Jackson Superbowl incident a few years back.
it’s difficult to believe she is OLDER than my mother
I can see both of them.

I remember that picture hanging in our office decades ago. Someone circled the nipple. It was a gauche act.
May she be remembered at her best.

i was bottle fed…damn it.
That’s ok Mike-we had bottle blondes too.
I had that poster on my bedroom wall. And that’s all I’m sayin’ about that.

Oh, and to Pandora (if she logs on from her beach bungalow): Logan’s Run will never be the same.
I remember her when her name was Farrah Fawcett Majors.
You should, you were like 35 at the time, right?
LOL, but is anyone thinking about Lee Majors?
Maybe Michael Jackson had a heart attack learning that Farrah Fawcett died.
