Farrah Fawcett: Death of an Angel

After a three-year fight with cancer, actress Farrah Fawcett died today at age 62. No one is likely to argue that Charlie’s Angels, the TV series for which she’s best known, was a masterpiece of video storytelling or a landmark for actresses (“There were three little girls…”). But Fawcett herself, as a star during her brief run on the show and as a world-famous sex symbol and poster model, was definitely a landmark in a lot of young lives during the ’70s.
