What about Farrah?
Charlie
star status you know when you pass on the media will embrace you and
elevate you into Sainthood status. But then at the last possible
moment a very odd and world wide known superstar most likely overdoses
on drugs. Now she's being ignored because MJ is the bigger story here
considering the way he went. We had plenty of time to mourn FF
because we knew her days were numbered...sadly. But then a dark horse
(no pun intended)emerges and takes the lead and then wins. Even the
best Hollyweird screenwriters couldn't have scripted this story. What
a day. It did remind me in a weird way of the day OJ murdered his
wife and Ron Goldman for some odd reason. Poor poor Farrah, her story
gets thrown out so to speak.

I think she was over-rated. One season as a Charlie's Angel cast
member and then an above-average TV movie (TheBurning Bed).

But it doesn't matter. The same can be said about Suzanne Somers.

Something about Farrah Fawcett's death getting almost immediately
booted out of the headlines seems almost predestined, as though some
cruel force decided to deny her even that moment of postmortem,
temporarily re-ignited fame by scheduling Michael Jackson's final
shoot up of painkillers at almost exactly the moment of her demise.

Most of America has been mourning her for months.

It's a bit of a moot point for her - and him at this point. But
actually, her death will now always be remembered for this curious bit
of serendipity. And try to imagine that they are entering the eternal
beyond and the Lord's Disco - (so to speak of his embrace in a '70's
metaphor) - arm in arm, both restored in their youthful, glamorous,
charmed, sexed up glory. Quite an entrance.
( A rejuvenated Eddie Mcmahon's there, exclaiming on the mic, upon
their entree, "Heyoe!")

They probably planned it that way. Just before Farrah died Ryan
O'Neal plied Michael Jackson with drugs so he would have cardiac
arrest and take the spotlight away from the fact that Farrah died of
ASS cancer.
Farrah is probably kissing Michael in heaven and thanking him and
hugging him for saving her from embarassing headlines like:
Farrah Fawcett's ass rots to death

This is the worst part for Farrah: she got fucked in the ass, and got
cancer. She goes through the whole decline, and when the day was finally
hers, where the spotlight would finally shine on her, and her alone, life
came and fucked her in the ass all over again.

Obviously, Taylor doesn't bother to actually read his own links...
Two Emmy nominations (when they meant something), and Four Golden
Globe Nominations (again, when they *meant* something), hardly
constitutes "over-rated". She was underrated, because she was pretty,
and no one expected her to be anything but that.

Okay. I take back my statement then. You swayed me. I don't think very
many TV movies get Emmy nods, so there must be something dynamic
about her performance. She had a good enough career to get multiple
Golden Globe noms/wins for different roles and that's better than some
actors ever had. A Peabody Award is nothing to sneeze at.

So I'm guilty of skim reading. I guess it's because her genres of
films aren't ones I would look for.

Farrah wasn't a freak. People love to see freaks.
Kenny McCormack
Bingo! We have a winner.

Michael Black
The funny thing is, it's impoossible to know what people want.
This is completely driven by old media. We can't tell what people
are really thinking because old media is playing it up to the maximum.
Is that a reflection of what people think/want, or does it cause
people to want this?
They claim, like the time Princess Diana died, that people want
the coverage, but until old media is out of the loop, that can't
really be determined.
I have no choice, turn on the tv set and it's there, turn on the radio,
and it's there, bring in the newspaper and it's there. For a lot of
people, that's what matters, they talk about what's already out there
rather than talk about what really matters to them.
Maybe it matters, or maybe they are just reacting to old media.
Michael
Drexl
Although the suddenness of his death was a factor, Michael Jackson was
just a bigger celebrity than Farrah Fawcett. There was a time when
Jackson was probably the biggest star in the world. Fawcett just wasn't
on the same level.
I mean, if a great artist like Joni Mitchell was to die on the same day
as Madonna, I would completely understand that Mitchell would get
overshadowed. That's just how it is.

ABC pre-empted regular programming last night for two hours - one

Farrah was a huge poster girl/pop culture icon. MJ was no doubt
bigger...true...but much of what kept him in the public eye was his pure
freakishness and finally the notoriety of his clearly pedophile nature. I
think his pedophilia was rooted in his frozen, childlike psychological
pathology...but it's still very disturbing to anyone not in complete denial
as to it's nature. Obviously there are many of those.
Just as OJ in a sick way surpasses many great football players in fame (or
infamy), so does MJ among entertainers. I wonder how big he might have
remained had he faded in the public mind as did Stevie Wonder who seems so
normal by comparison. I personally think Wonder's talent towers over
Michael Jacksons...though obviously Stevie didn't dance.

And ratings-wise, Farrah is the winner as Michael got 5.7 million
viewers and Farrah got 8.2 million viewers.

Michael O'Connor
film roles that required her to act. By the time her career cooled
off in the 80's she was able to dress down to get some good roles in
The Burning Bed and Extremities. She was also very good in smaller
roles in the 90's in The Apostle (as Robert Duvall's wife) and Dr. T
and the Women (as Richard Gere's emotionally disturbed wife who strips
down in the fountain at the mall). I think she was an underrated
actress, but when her career was hot her beauty got in the way of her
getting any good acting roles because the only roles she was probably
offered required her to wear a minimum of clothing.
By the way, I saw where NBC is replaying that two hour Farrah special
tonight, the one that aired a couple weeks back.
The Kentucky Wizard
consultations with my Joint Chiefs of Staff, being briefed by members of my
Cabinet and many telephone conversations with various World Leaders, I have
come to the following conclusions:
There's at least 3 million men, charishing fond memories of Farrah's
appearance on a famous poster that helped them through those difficult
pubescent years, who would disagree with you about her being over-rated.

She might have gotten more sympathy had OJ murdered her and Ryan

Wiz,
I agree. Over-rated as what? That's the question. She went a long way
toward improving her image as an actress. And if she never quite
fulfilled her promise, that was no fault of her own.
She was a beauty, and she was very, very good at it. She will always
be remembered for her role on "Charlie's Angels," and though that role
demanded little of her as an actress, it did give TV glamor of the
kind it seldom finds. She played the part that was given her
perfectly.
Even though I was never a fan of "Charlie's Angels," I was certainly
aware of Farrah Fawcett. She created an image that drew attention to
herself in the way no many actresses do. And in a business in which
image is everything, that's doing pretty well.
magnus
It's the Principle!
She did a little movie, probably in her mid 40s and before she
started screwing around with plastic surgery, call The Substitute
Wife. She was excellent in the role (but it's hard not to be when
you're playing next to Leah Thimpson). She was starting to show her
age, but was looked like she was going to remain beautiful. Then
she messed it up., She never looked quite right after the knife.

You know I was attracted to her when she hit her late 40's early 50's
than I was when she was on Charlies Angels. She was just so pretty.

You know I thought that was nice and I did watch both. No matter your
feelings for either, it's a sad day.
