Earth Angel

Let's think good thoughts today for a lady of unexpected grace and courage, one who has spent the better part of 40 years proving that she's more than just a pretty face (even as the material she had to work from often made that a surpassingly difficult task) - from bit parts, through Myra Breckinridge, on to posters, TV superstardom, and a surprisingly varied later career.

Farrah Fawcett may never have been the critics' darling, but she was and is a lovely woman and always an entertaining star, and now she is fighting for her life. Where there's fabulousness, there's hope.
