Farrah Fawcett

Biography

This American leading lady, whose thick, tousled, dirty-blonde hair inspired a styling craze and whose wide sunshiny smile, statuesque appearance and fluffy vivacity made her a poster phenomenon and major media focus of the late 1970s, is predominently known for her TV roles.

Farrah Fawcett caught on as the co-star of the popular 1970s ABC series "Charlie's Angels". As Jill Munroe, one of three beauteous detectives, the actress (billed as Farrah Fawcett-Majors as she was then married to TV star Lee Majors) stood out in contrast to her brunette colleagues Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith. The series hardly presented plausible situations or opportunities for complex characterizations, but Fawcett's limited emoting skills if anything added a vulnerable modesty and appeal to her formidable California-girl image.

Leaving the series after only two seasons, Fawcett attempted to cash in on her newfound popularity by switching to feature films. Her ventures in this arena (i.e., "Somebody Killed Her Husband" 1978, "Saturn 3" 1980), however, failed with both the critics and the moviegoing public.

By 1983, though, having cut her hair and left both her business manager and her husband, Fawcett was determined to take charge of her career and to shed the superficialities of her star persona. Accepting the role of a woman who turns the tables on an attempted rapist and torments him in the Off-Broadway play "Extremities", she impressed the critics with her displays of rage, craftiness and desire for revenge. Fawcett repeated her stage performance in a 1986 film version of the play, and has since played a series of unglamorous, serious and determined women in telefilms, many of which were based on true stories, including "The Burning Bed" (NBC. 1984), "Nazi Hunter: The Beate Klarsfeld Story" (ABC, 1986) and "Margaret Bourke-White" (TNT, 1989).

Fawcett entered into a long-term relationship with actor Ryan O'Neal beginning in 1985 and much of the next decade was spent making occasional small screen appearances. She and O'Neal attempted to capitalize on their relationship with the short-lived sitcom "Good Sports" (CBS 1991). Fawcett appeared more relaxed and comfortable, exuding confidence in her abilities. She offered an excellent turn as a dying frontierswoman in "The Substitute Wife" (NBC, 1994) and wowed many with a 1995 pictorial in PLAYBOY (see Farrah Fawcett's nude pictures here). Following her separation from O'Neal in 1997, Fawcett offered one of her richest performances as the cheating wife of a Pentacostal preacher (Robert Duvall) in the underrated "The Apostle" (1998).

Three years later, she turned in a nicely modulated turn as Richard Gere's mentally disturbed wife in "Dr T & the Women" (2000).
