Farrah Fawcett has passed away.
While everyone has been talking about Ryan O'Neal, the iconic poster and CHARLIE'S ANGELS, there are a few things I will always remember her for.
LEE MAJORS - To me, Farrah will always be Farrah Fawcett Majors. That is when I first knew her, the days when she was married to THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN Lee Majors. The two were married from 1973 to 1982.
SUNBURN (1979) - I never did see this film she made in 1979 with Charles Grodin, but I think there was a law that every video store had to carry it. Never released on DVD, today, the VHS is out of print and copies are going for up to $90 on Amazon.
SATURN 3 (1980) - Farrah in outer space with Kirk Douglas and Harvey Keitel under the direction of Stanley Donen (a long way from SINGIN IN THE RAIN).
CANNONBALL RUN (1981) - My favorite Farrah movie.
She will be missed.

This is very sad news. I send my condolences out to her friends and family.
Jim- I HIGHLY recommend "Sunburn." I think I still have it - on Beta! Honest. And I still have a beta player. Even better is Lamont Johnson's "Somebody Killed Her Husband," a truly charming romantic comedy/mystery with a great supporting cast of Broadway staples. Check it out! -Joe
Thanks Joe, I will be on the lookout for SUNBURN. Like I said, it seemed to be everywhere in the early days of video, when Beta was thought to be a big contender in the video format wars (along with those Discovision discs). But in recent years, it has been forgotten.
