Farrah Fawcett
26
When she was 62, the Charlie's Angels star -- whose 1976 swimsuit poster is one of the most iconic ever made -- chronicled her lengthy battle with anal cancer for an NBC documentary that aired a month before she died in June 2009. Although they didn't have time to do so, the bed-ridden actress and longtime beau Ryan O'Neal announced plans to wed.

26Your at peace now beautiful
a great actress gone to soon
too bad she was a druggie.
Farrah was a victim of the Acid toting pistols (lsd pens), bad doctors, etc, life scripted. Same as Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and so many others. I'm your lifeline. I remember let me say and let's all get together to try and stop them.
My mother had this same cancer but was fortunate enough to have caught it early but she has to wear a colostomy bag the rest of her life, and she is 79. It is a awful disease that took my father, I feel for anyone who has any type of cancer. Farrah Faucet had great courage. She will be missed.
Regarding Sean Penn wishing Rectal Cancer on his critics; what else would an "ASS HOLE" WISH!
Prayers for the family and friends, unforgetable person, sad she was forgotten in those that had passed last year at the awards ceremony. Not forgotten in the hearts of the fans!
Just because someone is in their 6o's doesn't mean they are ready to die.She was fighting an awful disease and she lost the battle.She was beautiful inside and out.And it's really too bad that she had to go at the same time as MJ because her life didn't get the recognition it deserved because it was overshadowed by the so called "King of Pop".R>I>P> to both of them because no one deserves to die the way either one of them did.
Also, Elvis was 42. Regardless anything less than the "average" life-span would be considered "too young"
SHE STILL HAD IT!!!!!!!!!!
This is another death that really bothered me and her death and Patricks were over shadowed my "the king of pop" aka plastic freak...yeah his death was sudden but his death was no greater than Farrahs or Patricks...sorry thats my thoughts!!!
Apparently this writer didn't like Farrah. I think most would refer to it as Colon Cancer. Not Anal Cancer. But this writer is apparently an "Anus"
Jesus, couldn't you just have said cancer?
62 is not too soon to die. At least she didn't die at 20 or 32 like Elvis or most of our 19 yr old military soldiers. She had a fairly good long life. Sure theirs family who's going to miss her, but whether she's 62 or 82 she'll always be missed. Most elderly people want to go anyway by their 70s because of medical problems, loneliness or they can't get around. Besides she's in a happier place now.
For those of you who think 60 is "old enough to die" I feel great pity for you. What if you parent died at 60? What if you actually begin to "grow up" and then you die at 60 when your not ready? Sixty is just a number, life is a gift. A loss of life at any age is a great loss, celeb or not. It is with much prayer that you find quidance in the Lord, expecially if you are planning on checking out the the young age of 60.
the average life of the female is 77, 60 is pretty young, her sister died of colon cancer, u would have thought a millionaire would have been tested so it could have been caught early enough to save her life......shame
MERRY CHRISTMAS FARRAH, LOVE YA ALWAYS R.I.P. BEAUTIFUL LADY...
It is sad farrah died but she was not exactly younng she was in her 60's so i don't think she should be up here wheres Natasha Richardson? i mean she was in her 40's and died suddenly in an accident where as we all knew Farrah was on her way out
A beauty of many dimensions, gone but your courage and your smile will never beforgotten
A brave lady.... who died with dignity. R.I.P. sweet lady.
