Farrah Fawcett, born Ferrah Leni Fawcett on February 2, 1947 in Corpus Christi, Texas, United States is an American actress. She became a noted pop culture figure and legendary sex symbol of the 1970s, then an iconic actress in the 1980s, changing the cultural landscape of how television actresses appeared on film.

Early life

Fawcett was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas to James William Fawcett and Pauline Alice Evans. She is the second of 2 daughters. Her older sister, Diane, passed away from lung cancer in 1998. As a child, Farrah displayed a natural athletic ability which her father encouraged. She was raised Roman Catholic. She attended John J. "Blackjack" Pershing Middle School in Houston, TX, a school which is now the magnet program for fine arts. She attended the University of Texas at Austin and was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority.

Career

In 1976, Fawcett played the character of Jill Munroe for one year in the successful TV series Charlie's Angels. That same year, her swimsuit poster sold a still-unrivaled 12 million copies and she became known for her tousled mane, beautiful smile and enviable figure. As settlement to a lawsuit stemming from her early departure, Fawcett appeared six more times as a guest star in seasons three and four. She was replaced on the show by Cheryl Ladd, who portrayed her younger sister on the show.

Fawcett achieved critical praise and her first of three Emmy Award nominations as a serious actress for her role as a battered wife in the 1984 television movie The Burning Bed. She also won acclaim in the stage and movie version of Extremities, in which she played a rape victim who turns the tables on her attacker. She then played a predatory role in another miniseries, Small Sacrifices, receiving a second Emmy nomination. Her third Emmy nomination came in 2004 for her work in The Guardian. Fawcett has been nominated for several others awards as well including the Golden Globe Award and ACE awards.

Fawcett posed in the December 1995 issue of Playboy, which became the best-selling issue of the 1990s, with over 4 million copies sold worldwide. She later posed for the July 1997 issue, which also became a top seller.

Personal life

Fawcett was married to Lee Majors, star of The Six Million Dollar Man, from 1973 to 1982, though the two separated in 1979; during this time, she was known as Farrah Fawcett-Majors. From 1980 to 1997, Fawcett was involved in a committed relationship with her longtime boyfriend, actor Ryan O'Neal; they are still dating, on and off. The relationship produced one child, Redmond, in 1985.

On June 5 1997, she received some negative commentary after giving a less-than-coherent interview on The Late Show with David Letterman. It was speculated that her rambling, incoherent manner was the result of drug abuse. Months later, she explained on the Howard Stern Radio show that her rambling was in fact just her way of joking around with the television host. She also insisted that what looked like random looks across the theater was just her looking and reacting to the fans in the audience.

In the first half of 2006, Fawcett suffered several personal losses including the death of her mother Polly, agent Jay Bernstein, and mentor Aaron Spelling.

In August 2006, Fawcett took part in the Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner, where she appeared to have difficulty telling her jokes, seeming frazzled or incoherent at times. One presenter, Jeffrey Ross asked Betty White to "explain the jokes to Farrah".
