I watched her on TV a few months back and she was truly a fighter in this horrible disease. I hope she is at peace now!

Quote clicquot1: Farrah was a kind, beautiful, talented woman who most will sadly just remember for her beauty, but she was so much more. When she left Charlie's Angel's it was because she wanted to be known for more than her looks and she set out to prove it to her "critics".She had the acting chops to get meaty roles. I will NEVER forget her role in "THE BURNING BED" she did more to help violence against women than many professionals. She was a brave, optomistic, and courageous family-oriented woman. God BLESS and GOD SPEED. We will miss you, FARRAH.



omg i loved the Burning Bed!! she was definitely a great actress. i love it that she chose a role like that! you are right that she did alot for women in abusive situations b/c of that - on one site it states "Critics and viewers were impressed, and the TV movie was the first to include an 800 number for victims of abuse" - so even more awareness came out. she did some other films too. i think i remember one called "Extremities" that was about a rapist in which she turned the tables on. she played a strong role in that too. i think she was a good hearted person as well. loved her!


Burning Bed is one of my all time favourite movies and I didn't even realize that it was her that starred in it!

That movie empowered woman to fight back! It opened so many doors and showed us that we are not alone in this fight!

Thank you!

Farrah was beautiful and a very good actress. I enjoyed her work. I'm very sad she lost her battle with cancer. She was a fighter until the end. She will be missed. My prayers go out to her family and friends.

I was a young child when Charlie's Angels was on TV and really don't remember much other than them running around in disguises, sunglasses, lip gloss, karate and guns telling folks to 'Freeze!' LOL...my favorite performance of Farrah's was the movie 'The Burning Bed.' I was a little girl when I saw that movie, and even then, it further empowered me to not take @#$! from any man! I didn't see acting, I saw a battered woman and felt that her performance deserved an Emmy.

When an actor is able to become completely immersed into the character, and you don't see the 'cover girl' then you know she had the skills to pay the bills! That movie never gets old to me when I see it, and in tribute to her, I think I might rent it again soon to watch.

I also saw her documentary about her cancer battle, and I was so touched by the scenes of her watching the rain and her prayer to God to have more days to see the rain...that was so heartbreaking...

RIP, Farrah...

How fortunate Farrah was to have had such a devoted friend in Alana Stewart and in her long-time lover, Ryan O'neal. I really feel for them - they have lost so much. Ryan suffered leukemia some while back, and Farrah was a great support for him. Like she said in her documentary, she hopes she will be able to dip her angel's wings in the rain from heaven. I hope so too!

Oh my goodness! I had forgotten all about "Small Sacrifices". She was great in that. It was also a true story. She was such a great actress after Charlies Angels. She was good in it but when she left there and started her own career she was terrific.

Oh, GOD yes and she was GREAT, as she was in "THE BURNING BED,and "SMALL SACRIFICES. And, Eppy did you ever see the movie where she came back to her hometown and went to work for the plant that her sister was in some type of mangement position. Her character was kind of a mess up and she never followed thru with things. Her mom had passed away and her and the sister were waiting for probate. The sister and the husband wanted to sell the place and Farrah's character said NO she was going to live there. I loved her role in this movie but don't remember the name of it.

The name of that movie was "Silk Hope".

I wish she and Ryan could have got their wedding in before she passed. I am sure he is devasted along with so many others. I haven't heard a statement from Lee Majors if he made one.

She was a beautiful person. At least she seemed like it. An excellent actress no doubt. Has anyone seen the movie "Extremities"?
It was so good and my most memorable movie beside "Burning Bed". Her recent biography was so moving. I feel so bad for her family and friends.

Good article on her services today. Her son was allowed out of prison to attend.
