The Golden Girl Who Was An Angel

Farrah Fawcett 1947-2009

That bright, confident 50 watt smile, the full golden mane flipped up and wildly imitated, but never quite duplicated and that red one piece swimsuit, will forever remain static within the framework of American iconography.  Oh Farrah, our golden girl.  She represented that classic California Golden Girl  look and style is the from a generation ago.  Although she was only an Angel for just one season, her star turn on the ABC Television hit, Charlie’s Angels she spent her career known almost entirely as a former Angel.  Though never achieving the artistic feats she pursued, Fawcett demonstrated great range on the small screen as a battered wife in The Burning Bed and a vengeful rape victim in Extremities.  On the big screen, she was very impressive as estranged wife of Robert Duval’s fire breathing Pentecostal minister in The Apostle.  

We lost Farrah Fawcett last week after her long battle with cancer.  Although she was 62 at the time of her death, we will forever remember her image as one of youth.  She appeared before us as an angel and as thus she departed.  Rest in Peace Farrah.
