|||||||||||||
| Farrah Fawcett, born Ferrah Leni Fawcett 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. Fawcett was born and raised in Corpus Christi, Texas to James William Fawcett and Pauline Alice Evans. She is the second of 2 daughters. 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 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. 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. On October 4, 2006, it was revealed that Fawcett has anal cancer, and is undergoing treatment for it, including chemotherapy and surgery. The Associated Press wire reported on February 2, 2007 (her 60th birthday) that Fawcett was now cancer free. | |||||||||||||
