Beautiful people cry too: Farah Fawcett's dramatic life story in 50 photo facts

20 Mar 2023

Farah Fawcett became a sex symbol in the 1970s and 1980s. When, already in 1995, she starred in Playboy magazine, this issue became the most popular issue of the 1990s - 4 million copies were sold. But despite this, her life was full of dramatic moments, despair, and pain. Read a story from the life of a woman that will amaze you.

The name of Farrah's origin

Although she was born Ferrah Leni Fawcett, she once said that her mother Pauline merely made up her name because she loved the way it sounded with their last name. Another theory is that her father, an oilman in Texas, took his inspiration from the Arabic word for "joy." Farrah, however, was the one who made the decision to alter the spelling of her name in order to more accurately reflect the pronunciation.

The most beautiful student at W. B. Ray High School

1947 saw the birth of Farrah Fawcett in Corpus Christi, Texas. She was raised a Roman Catholic, and her family attends the nearby St. Patrick's Catholic Church. She attended the parish school during her formative years. She then transferred to W.B. Ray High School, a public high school in Corpus Christi, where she joined the cheerleading squad. Her classmates were aware of her beauty even at a young age; they repeatedly selected her as having the "best grin" in class.

New student girl

In 1965, Farrah graduated from high school and enrolled in the University of Texas at Austin to further her education. She had previously intended to major in microbiology but changed her mind and is now a sculpture major. She made the decision to move into the Madison House, which is still on 22nd Street, after deciding she didn't want to live in a dorm from the beginning. The first UT Austin first-year to be selected as one of the "10 Most Beautiful Coeds on Campus" was Farrah.

She skipped the mirror

The history behind Farrah's famous red bathing suit billboard is fascinating. Pro Arts Inc., who wanted her to work with Bruce McBroom, asked for the photo session. However, the business gave Farrah absolutely no assistance with her appearance. According to reports, Farrah performed her own hair, makeup, and highlights using lemon juice while working without even a mirror to help. 40 rolls of film were produced as a consequence of the shoot, and Farrah was allowed to select her top 6.

Legendary tennis partners

Aaron Spelling, a successful TV producer and the father of the actress Tori Spelling played doubles tennis with Farrah and Lee Majors frequently while she was married to Lee Majors. This close bond led Spelling to cast Farrah in the original Charlie's Angels television movie alongside Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith, who portrayed the firm's private investigators and a mysterious, never-seen multi-millionaire. Fawcett played Jill Munroe in the movie, and she later agreed to assume the role in the TV show.

Covering girl

Despite Farrah's modest success when she first moved to Hollywood, all it took was one photograph for her to suddenly become a household name. Her image quickly appeared on everything, from shampoo bottles to billboards, and she even secured a Super Bowl commercial. She preferred posing for magazine covers more than anything, though. Though Fawcett's images were published in prestigious fashion publications like Cosmopolitan and Vogue, Playboy was the pinnacle of her modeling career.

The recognizable red bathing suit

Farrah's swimsuit from her famous 1976 photo shoot was donated to the Smithsonian's Museum of American History in Washington, DC, in 2011. Norma Kamali, who received a special homage award from the CFDA in 2005, created the outfit. The garment was donated by Farrah's estate, but Ryan O'Neal, Farrah's on-again, off-again partner, presented it to the museum on February 2. The suit is still on public display right now.

Their hearts didn't get any fonder with the distance

Given that both Farrah and Lee Majors were established actresses, it appears that their marriage was doomed from the start. Six Million Dollar Man, which aired on ABC from 1974 to 1978, starred Majors. Due to their hectic shooting schedules, which prevented them from spending much time together, the couple experienced significant tension, which ultimately resulted in their separation. Even though they openly cited the distance as the main problem, there were rumors that Farrah's professional aspirations also played a part.

Interracial dating

One of the first game shows, The Dating Show featured a relatively unknown Fawcett as a competitor. It has been dramatized and satirized in TV shows over the centuries. The idea behind the game was that three single male contestants were separated from one another by a curtain, but Farrah could chat with any of them. It would be up to the guys to persuade her to go on a date with them based on their responses to a series of questions she would offer.

The photoshoot that raised a serious controversy

Farrah Fawcett, who is known for having strong moral principles, initially refused offers to pose without clothing; but, in 1995, she finally agreed to one. The only exception was the December Playboy edition, for which she didn't even expose all of herself, but it didn't matter. Given her resolute unwillingness to pose indecently throughout the 1970s and 1980s, many condemned her for being hypocritical for the reversal after her appearance in the adult magazine.

Charlie's Angels is called off the air

Farrah began having second thoughts about continuing with Charlie's Angels after one season of playing Jill Munroe. She asserted that she had no contract and that the success of the show had made her highly sought after. Unfortunately for Fawcett, Spelling-Goldberg Productions decided to sue her for violating her contract because she was bound by it. In order to avoid going to trial, Farrah agreed to make a series of guest appearances in 1978 and 1979.

At first sight love

Although Farrah Fawcett was in a number of well-known romances, it was her lifelong partner Ryan O'Neal who experienced love at first sight. O'Neal has frequently been reported as saying that he felt they were meant to be together the moment their eyes met. He saw her before she even entered the house when they first met at a friend's party. He claimed that her grin was what actually made the connection.

Doomed from the beginning

When Ryan O'Neal and Fawcett first met, he already had a number of kids from prior unions with two other women, one of whom was battling addiction. He stated in 1980, "Farrah's visibility is on the rise…" despite the fact that his acting career was in decline at the time. My career is struggling in the meantime. Even though they had instantly fallen in love, O'Neal's personal issues made it difficult for him to be a decent companion to Farrah.

Children prior to marriage

It was impossible for Fawcett and O'Neal to fully divorce even though they never had a legal marriage. They started dating in 1979 before Farrah and her ex-husband Lee Majors were legally divorced, but in 1985 she gave birth to Redmond James Fawcett-O'Neal, their son. O'Neal remained a constant in their life after their divorce in 1997, co-parenting Redmond to the best of their limited ability. Their smiles covered up the fact that their relationship wasn't as smooth as it often appeared in pictures.

Disparaging her friends

Howard Stern was among the media personalities who expressed shock that the three Charlie's Angels members appeared to get along so well. The press frequently tried to stir up conflict among them during interviews in order to provide juicy headlines, but the women always stood their ground. Given that her co-stars Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith were true friends with one another, Farrah steadfastly refused to say anything negative about them.

Sticky hands

The troubled relationship between Farrah and James Orr got off to a rocky start. Fawcett began dating Orr, whom she met when he cast her in 1995's Man of the House, as soon as she ended her 17-year relationship with Ryan O'Neal. A friend of Orr's named Kristen Amber said that Fawcett had stolen items worth $72,000 from Orr's house not long after they started dating. The story was later found to be false, but it did provide the tabloids more material to use against Farrah.

Concerned for her life

Fawcett gained considerable notoriety once Charlie's Angels was released. The outcry from the public was so strong that she was forced to employ a security guard to follow her about at all times. When their relationship first started, O'Neal was uncomfortable with the situation and asked to be left alone. However, not long after the security officer left them alone, they were surrounded by admirers, which led O'Neal to remark: “Remember that security guard? Can we have him returned?”

late-night flight to Houston

Midnight Train to Georgia was written by Jim Weatherly, who later revealed that Farrah Fawcett and her former spouse Lee Majors were the song's real inspirations. He claimed that one evening, he called the couple with the intention of speaking with Majors when Fawcett answered the phone. During their conversation, Farrah revealed that she would be traveling to Houston on "the midnight aircraft" to see her mother.

Getting her fame back

Despite her very immediate surge to fame, her career quickly declined after leaving the Charlie's Angels. She appeared in Sunburn, Somebody Killed Her Husband, and Saturn 3 all in quick succession, but the roles dried up after that. Farrah was not yet prepared to go into obscurity, however, and in 1984's The Burning Bed, she made a successful comeback as a TV movie actor. Many critics praised her for her work in the heartbreaking movie about domestic problems.

Fighting cancer

Farrah was diagnosed with cancer five years after O'Neal battled leukemia. In an effort to fight the condition, she was willing to try any treatment, both traditional and alternative, and she frequently flew back and forth between Germany and Los Angeles.

Unfortunately, none of the treatments were effective, and the cancer spread to her liver. With her son Redmond there and his father Ryan O'Neal by her side, Farrah passed away almost three years after being given the illness.

Until death we do part

Both Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett experienced health scares, however, Farrah ultimately passed away from hers. Despite how difficult a serious disease might be, Farrah persevered for Ryan. Even after their breakup in 1997, Farrah frequently referred to Ryan as the love of her life. However, the couple reunited after Ryan was given the news that he had leukemia in 2001. They still didn't quite make it to the altar, but they undoubtedly lived up to the promise of "til death do us part."

Late Show disaster

One night in 1997, Farrah appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, but she came out as rambling and avoided making eye contact with the comic. Many assumed that she must be abusing her drugs as a result of her strange behavior, but Farrah claimed that they were actually only observing her anxieties. In the ensuing discussions, O'Neal defended her by telling the press that "She was selling Playboy magazine, and she believed she was being Playmate-ish."

Infant naming

Popular TV shows and celebrities have a significant impact on the popularity of baby names, a pattern that is still evident today as evidenced by the popularity of names like "Emma" in the early 2000s and "Bella" more recently. Farrah joined them in the 1970s after Charlie's Angels catapulted Farrah Fawcett to popularity. Similar to "Sarah," this name isn't too foreign for Americans to say, but it's a welcome change from the era's overused names like "Jennifer."

When Farrah flips

When Farrah Fawcett was at the height of her celebrity, her feathered flip became the most popular hairstyle for women, much like the most popular haircut of the 1990s, which was influenced by Jennifer Aniston's "Rachel" haircut on Friends. The "Farrah 'do" or the "Farrah flip" was all you needed to request at the salon, and every hairstylist in America understood what you meant. It was still up to you if you desired the hue to coincide with Farrah's highlights.

Cheating

The 1997 breakup of Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal was brought on by O'Neal's pervasive adultery. In a distressing occurrence that occurred in 1997, Farrah discovered her 17-year lover in his Malibu house with another woman. Leslie Ann Stefanson, then known for playing the lead in The General's Daughter, was mentioned in his evidence when he was later sued by the University of Texas in an effort to reclaim the remainder of Farrah's artwork.

A Valentine's Day to recall

Valentine's Day also happened to fall on the day when poor Farrah discovered O'Neal inside. It was dreadful, I didn't expect to see her down there, O'Neal recalled. I made an attempt to put on my jeans, but both legs ended up in the same hole. Leslie slid beneath the blankets. O'Neal tried in vain to keep Farrah from realizing what was going on. "I initially believed Farrah would attack her, but instead, she asked, "What's your name?" "Leslie," exclaimed Leslie. Farrah then exited.

Screaming and kicking

O'Neal and Fawcett were on the verge of complete conflict when they decided to end their 17-year union. Tabloids had a never-ending supply of public scream-offs to broadcast to the globe, along with stories of adultery and even potential bloodshed. Despite their love breakup, however, neither was ready to completely shut off communication with the other, which would have been particularly challenging given that they both have a son in common. In the wake of their health difficulties, they ultimately reconciled.

Known for being unreliable

Fawcett believed she was in high demand with the success of Charlie's Angels, but her high-profile exit had the opposite effect, and interest in her as an actress abruptly waned. Leonard Goldberg, the co-producer of Charlie's Angels, said, “We made her a star, and she walks out after one year. No major studio or production firm would hire her despite the fact that we had a legitimate contract with her. Producers dislike people who break their agreements”.

Photo battle

O'Neal set up an introduction to Andy Warhol not long after he and Fawcett first met, and Warhol quickly opted to utilize Farrah as a model. Two of her portraits that he created were eventually loaned by Fawcett to the Andy Warhol Museum. After she passed away, it was learned that the University of Texas had received all of her artwork. The university then filed a lawsuit against O'Neal to reclaim the Warhol image of Farrah that was up at his residence. Fortunately for O'Neal, the court upheld the decision.

Very near but no cameo

Farrah Fawcett was offered a cameo when it was revealed that Charlie's Angels will be remade as a feature picture in 2000, starring Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, and Cameron Diaz. She seems enthusiastic about the part, but she also made an unexpected request: could she also voice Charlie. She wanted the producers to accommodate her request, but they refused, and she refused to accept the role unless it was possible. As a result, she did not actually appear in the remake.

Unknown scar

The designer of Farrah's iconic billboard sought to conceal a childhood scar, which is why she was wearing a one-piece swimming suit. People who know Farrah claim that she hurt herself while attempting to learn to ride a bike as a young girl, despite the fact that she never specifically disclosed what kind of accident or injury resulted in the scar. It doesn't really matter how it happened anymore because original copies of the poster will set you back between $300 and $400.

Marriage wasn't planned to happen

Even before Farrah gave birth to their son Redmond in 1985, Farrah and Ryan frequently discussed making their relationship official. However, due to their prior divorces and ongoing arguments, this never fully materialized. O'Neal made multiple attempts to get Fawcett to say yes, including one with a cigar band in an unplanned display of affection, but before they reached the altar, a flat tire proved to be the only obstacle the couple required to call off their elopement.

Farrah changed her look?

Despite the fact that there are now doll and action figure lines for practically every movie made under the sun, the most legendary characters used to be the only ones to receive this privilege. Therefore, Mattel's decision to release a Barbie in 2011 that was inspired by Farrah's iconic red swimming suit billboard was an especially lovely tribute. The charity doll is an exact copy of the late singer, with feathery golden hair and a backdrop of a Mexican bedspread.

Reaching out to The Departed

Farrah Fawcett and Tori Spelling became acquainted when the latter was still a little child because they lived next door to each other and Fawcett was close with Spelling's father. But after Farrah died, it became apparent that their relationship was considerably closer than anyone had anticipated. Even though Farrah had already left this world, Tori made a few trips to a psychic to get some assistance in speaking to her old buddy. We'll never know what signals Fawcett conveyed from beyond.

Fawcett's passing was overshadowed by Michael Jackson

Hollywood experienced sadness on June 25, 2009, the day of Farrah Fawcett's passing. Michael Jackson's death was reportedly reported to have occurred a few hours after hers.

Damaged their son for life

Nobody has ever claimed that being the offspring of a famous person is simple, and Redmond, Farrah, and Ryan's son, knows this to be especially true. In response to his son's issues, O'Neal reportedly said, "One of us should have been the grown-up. Rather, we were two obstinate individuals who gave in to our baser inclinations. Our precious little kid would suffer the most from the corrosion of our moral compass, which had been swept away in a sea of ego and uncertainty.

Finally freed from prison

Redmond, Farrah's troublesome son, has had a hard time being on the right side of the law. Despite his assurances to Farrah to maintain his sobriety when he saw her moments before she passed away, which he was fortunate to witness after being detained for possession just days earlier, he was found guilty of a different crime in 2011. He was put on probation before that sentence was finished, but he was returned to jail in 2015 for breaking it. In 2016, Redmond was re-released.

History's Best-Selling poster

Because the 1976 image is the all-time best-selling poster, Farrah's iconic red bathing suit poster—the very same that has now been immortalized as a special edition Barbie—has been given such great distinction. Since of how impromptu the shoot was, the Mexican blanket that served as the backdrop was only utilized because it was what he had in the trunk of his car and it just so happened to match Farrah's swimming suit.

Nothing about her is vain

Farrah was very forthright about her dislike of time-consuming beautification routines. Even more so, she claimed, "I always feel more at ease when I wear very little makeup, my hair is dark, and I'm quite unattractive." She once responded to O'Neal's question about why she wore her hair in its famous feathery style by saying, "I can't see to the right or left, and that way I don't have to see people gazing at me."

However, one must undertake this difficult journey alone, and not much can be done to assist. I'm unsure if I can handle it right before surgery, so I pray for bravery and strength, and they come.

When his parents weren't looking, little Redmond said, "I'm going to stab myself if you don't stop it!" This frightened them into a brief truce.

She prepared fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, ginger cookies, and other calorie-dense comfort meals, but none of them were successful. According to Stewart, Farrah would tell her the dish was wonderful before giving it back to him.
