Farrah Fawcett, one of Charlie’s original Angels and the first to leave the group, has lost her fight with cancer. Known as Farrah Fawcett Majors in her Charlie’s Angels days, having been married to Six Million Dollar Man star Lee Majors, she brought charm and personality to a show often criticized as “jiggle TV” for featuring young women running around, a show frequently underrated for how much it empowered its female characters. They quickly evolved from taking Charlie’s orders to planning the jobs themselves and showing the boys how it’s really done.
She took on many other memorable roles, notably her work in The Burning Bed, but to us she’ll always fly high as a true blue action chick. Farewell, Farrah.
