Farrah Fawcett Interview (October 13, 1979)

Farrah Leni Fawcett (born Ferrah Leni Fawcett;[1] February 2, 1947 - June 25, 2009) was an American actress. A four-time Primetime Emmy Award nominee and six-time Golden Globe Award nominee, Fawcett rose to international fame when she played a starring role in the first season of the television series Charlie's Angels.
Fawcett began her career in the 1960s appearing in commercials and guest roles on television. During the 1970s, she appeared in numerous television series, including recurring roles on Harry O (1974-1976), and The Six Million Dollar Man (1974-1978) with her then-husband, film and television star Lee Majors. Her iconic red swimsuit poster[2] sold six million copies in its first year in print. Fawcett's breakthrough role was the role of private investigator Jill Munroe in Charlie's Angels, which co-starred Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith. The show propelled all three actresses to stardom. After appearing in the show's first season in 1976, Fawcett decided to leave Charlie's Angels. She later returned as a guest star in six episodes during the show's third and fourth seasons (1978-1980). For her work in Charlie's Angels, Fawcett received her first Golden Globe nomination.
In 1983, Fawcett received positive reviews for her performance in the Off-Broadway play Extremities. She was subsequently cast in the 1986 film version and received a Golden Globe nomination. She received Emmy Award nominations for her role as a battered wife in The Burning Bed (1984) and for her portrayal of real-life murderer Diane Downs in Small Sacrifices (1989). Her 1980s work in TV movies earned her four additional Golden Globe nominations. Although Fawcett weathered some negative press for a rambling appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 1997, she garnered strong reviews that year for her role in the film The Apostle with Robert Duvall. In the 21st century, she continued acting on television, holding recurring roles on the sitcom Spin City (2001) and the drama The Guardian (2002-2003). For the latter, she received her third Emmy nomination. Fawcett's film credits include Love Is a Funny Thing (1969), Myra Breckinridge (1970), Logan's Run (1976), Sunburn (1979), Saturn 3 (1980), The Cannonball Run (1981), Extremities (1986), The Apostle (1997), and Dr. T & the Women (2000).
Fawcett was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006 and died three years later at age 62. The 2009 NBC documentary Farrah's Story chronicled her battle with the disease. She posthumously earned her fourth Emmy nomination for her work as a producer on Farrah's Story.

She was very sellable. All the commercials I remember from luxury cars, shampoo, toothpaste, airlines, hair dryers, and shave cream. I am sure she was the face of more than that. A doll came out with her beautiful hair and of course that famous poster. She was lovely, unique and different.

She was all of that in addition to perhaps one of her most important qualities; she made a few mistakes along the way, but she was the consummate professional.

[@flenif2247]

I met her in 1990 and was STUNNED at how gorgeous she was in person. I can NOT even fathom what she must have looked like when younger. She absolutely "moved the molecules in the room" as they say. Her and Monroe just had IT!!!!

[@shrubdan]

Completely stunning. No real words can describe her beauty.

[@test-do1gc]

She looks simply divine. So fit and elegant. Its a shame to show her just from waist up. Too bad she later got a nose job and ruined her face. Also sad she ended up w that abusive guy, Ryan. Her demeanor and speech is so elegant. She could have done so much more. I think she was black listed after "Charlie's Angels." She could have been as big as Racquel Welch. I remember first time I saw her on TV. I was simply awestruck w the beauty of her and Jaclyn Smith. Farrah breaks all the stereotypes. Pretty women are superficial, not intelligent, catty (fight w other women), etc. R.i.p. pretty lady.

[@TheWatertigress]

If I had her long silky beautiful shining hair, I would be touching and playing with it constantly. But I read in somewhere she said she had that wavy mane of fluffy hair that covered both sides near her eyes, so she wouldn't see people staring at her. It must cause her anxiety to have people constantly staring and listening to her.

[@tomkat69pc]

beauty must have been a burden back in the days - don't think they had as much protection as today, there was no political correctness and "me too" .. .

[@lorimiller4301]

It was a scary time in the 80s. People were free to do pretty much whatever they wanted. Some men did whatever they wanted. They didn't have society looking down on them. You could be pushed, pulled, grabbed, dragged on to guys laps, thrown on a table while being an waitress, have doors closed and not be let out of places. On and on. So you're very correct. Then there's women who hate you for no reason and the big surprise was some men who instantly hate you for no other reason than you were alive and female. To be honest though there's nothing like the feeling of walking into a large room and have everyone stop and stare. Then it gets annoying and you want to punch the next guy who says anything about how you look. Most men will just stare and do nothing else but there's the other 20% you just dont know about. Times have sure changed but there's still those guys you just never know.

[@craigdalgetty7376]

Yeah they bent over backwards to get her to sign for Charlie angels but she wanted movies .it seemed a good deal .same pay as Kate but she farah wanted more .8% of merchandise she wanted 10 and they were willing to slow down filming of the show .so she could do a show but no wasn't interested. She said I was surprised how easy it was to replace me.i think she got carried away with all the media and got above herself. Shame really she even was let go at 630pm to go home and cook lees dinner.she had it all .at the time it was the biggest deal ever and she blew it .she should have taken deal .stayed 3 seasons like Kate. Then her image is cemented .could have went of and done films .it all went down hill .nobody would touch her .they were feared she would sue them too .to get out of contracts.shame really but her own fault .you've got to play the game .build yourself up .then discuss fees

Couldn't she stop touching her hair or flicking her head for one minute? We can see she's blonde (out of a bottle) without her drawing attention to her hair.

[@catnip824]

Jealous much? She was BORN a blonde, not from a bottle.

[@georgemallory401]

I don’t think she’s touching her hair excessively. When she does, maybe it’s because she’s nervous or being asked ridiculous questions like are you a natural blonde . How many times do you hear a man, say Kevin Costner, be asked if it’s his natural color.

[@mazymonroe8749]

Wow, that's the way 🙄! Condemn someone who may have been nervous or anxious at the time. Even if not, nothing positive to offer? Best to stfu 🤐🤐🤐

[@gaynor1721]

@@catnip824 Actually I'm not jealous of any woman. More like the other way around. I'm part Swedish and descended from an unbroken line of natural blond(e)s and no one is more naturally blond(e) than Scandinavians. It also means I can tell the difference between a natural blonde and someone who gets their hair colour out of a bottle. No one is "born blonde." Natural blondes are born bald and they have blonde eyelashes. Children with blonde hair and dark eyelashes, their hair darkens when they get older. They are also more likely to dye their hair blonde when they get older. They also don't have one parent or grandparent with natural blonde hair. That's the case with Farrah Fawcett. Neither of her parents were blonde, so where do you imagine she got blonde genes from - your imagination - and if she's was a natural blonde, it's a pity she dyed her parting black. In fact, her hair got blonder as she got older. She was never the same shade of blonde. P.S. Farrah Fawcett was a descendant of the Choctaw tribe of Native Americans. She had no Scandinavian DNA, so it wasn't in her DNA to be blonde. Natural blondes are genetically blonde, not just blonde as children. Michael Jackson's son, Prince, was hardly a natural blond. If anyone is jealous, it's you. 😁

​@@travelseatsyellowlab, She was striking and unique with that smile and her fame took her into aan un natural whirlwind. She was too vulnerable and inexperienced. She hooked up with O'Neil and got into drugs. She really didn't have a great head on her shoulders. The other angel, Kate Jackson, got into drugs as well. The only one that was more grounded was Jacklyn Smith. A good business woman as well. Has had her own clothing line for years, with many successful tv movies, also. Maybe all of Hollywood has had a bit of MK ultra on all of society. That's why they call it a 'program'. We have been manipulated by Hollywood since it's inception. Music as well.
