Farrah Fawcett promoting "Small Sacrifices" on Arsenio (Nov 1989)

Farrah Fawcett's appearance on "The Arsenio Hall Show" in November 1989 to promote her portrayal of Diane Downs in the two-part TV movie "Small Sacrifices."

[@gary1961]

She was 42 here. Absolutely beautiful.

Thank you for mentioning her age. I was just about to do the math.

[@kristiehowell3880]

She was NO bubble head, She was a brilliant actress n America's sweetheart 💕 RIP BEAUTIFUL Farrah

[@flenif2247]

In hindsight, she should have been nominated for an Emmy for Charlie's Angels . She convinced us she was a ditz!

[@geoffreyfox9801]

Farrah was brilliant in "Small Sacrifices". She deserved an Emmy. She made a very unlikeable character fascinating.

[@christyt4249]

She was also very good in The Burning Bed. This one and that one proved that she was more than just a pretty face.

[@leslie6049]

I totally agree with you!

[@USAjock9]

I agree. TheySO often give Emmy's to undeserving actors or actresses. No offence to Alisson Jennings but 7 Emmy's? Give me a break!!!! She is sometimes funny on "Mom" but average at best as a dramatic actress and she won 5 Emmy's for best actress on "West wing". Farrah was also nominated for an Emmy for "The burning bed" which was really heavy lifting for for any actress and Farrah was brilliant yet no Emmy.(again) That is why I hate award shows. Other actors & actresses' pick the winners and there is a lot of jealousy/mixed feelings RE Farrah in show business for quitting "Charlie's angels" after one year. Arron Spelling vowed she would never work again and he held power in Hollywood for a long time.

[@elainebines6803]

@@USAjock9 I didn't realise how they are judged. I'm in the UK and agree with you, totally! It should be changed, imo

[@nomiddlenamenmn427]

I agree. Farrah’s performance was captivating and flawless. She wouldn’t let you hate Diane even when you wanted to dismiss her as a monster.

[@farrahsaturn3]

SHE LOOKS STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Butterfly80-s8q]

Yes she does she is .Simply beautiful but what is the behavior? I dont know who is more ashamed. She when looks back or me right now. I couldnt watch or listen anymore I came to comments to see if somebody is commenting on that

Her smile and her hair were her trademark. So beautiful inside and out.

[@marka.5135]

Kids, listen up and pay attention. THIS is what a star looks like. And it's not just the gorgeous hair, face, clothes and body. It's the persona, the attitude, the projection, everything. And it's called class.

[@Shakespearelover1717]

Some people never gave Farrah Fawcett proper credit as an actress as they thought she was a lightweight airhead. She was a highly talented actress. I only wish she hadn’t died so young. I still miss her and wonder what she would be like today. That smile was like no other!

[@giantleprechaun2350]

Arsenio Hall is a great host! Farrah was just a timeless beauty

[@fidelmavahey5557]

I get excited every time I know I’m watching a Farrah Fawcett film, she never ever fails to compel us into believing her character. She was a fabulous, actress and beautiful person who fought so hard to survive. God. Love you, Farah and may the angels never be far from you because you deserve them❤

[@QueerlyBeloved386]

God how perfect would it have been to see an Angels Reunion movie right around THIS time - that would've KILLED IT

[@tavisferguson4129]

Absolutely horrifying that while Diane Downs and Blanche Taylor Moore are still living, Farrah, and Elizabeth Montgomery aren’t 😢

She is one of those special women that people are capticated by. I still adore her. ❤

[@elainebines6803]

Still can't believe we have lost her - So glad though, that she managed to showcase what an amazing actress she was. I think Farrah chose well what she was in and there are not many who could do the roles Farrah did in such a convincing way. You really are an angel now Farrah and not forgotten - your work lives on

[@lovelyandfloppy]

I loved her in The Burning Bed. Phenomenal actress

[@sheryldalton8965]

Farrah was gracious, intelligent & of course beautiful.

[@pamelaclary6758]

Her hair is gorgeous either way she flips it and so is she.

Even though Farrah Fawcett looks nothing like Diane Downs she was great playing her in the movie.

[@dianeschultz3229]

Farrah was a beautiful woman inside and out and she was a wonderful actress, she was fantastic in the Burning Bed, Small Sacrifices and Extremities! She was too good for Ryan O'Neill, who is an asshole to his kids and she was a sweetheart. Rest In Paradise Farrah!
