Farrah Fawcett Biography
Mary Farrah Leni Fawcett (born February 2, 1947 in Corpus Christi, Texas) is an actress who became a noted pop culture icon and sex symbol of the 1970s. Fawcett was the best-known star of the television series Charlie's Angels. A photo of Farrah in a red swimsuit was one of the most popular pin-up posters of the 1970s, and her layered, feathery-looking hairdo was among the most emulated hairstyles of the decade. She was married to actor Lee Majors from 1973 to 1982, though the two separated in 1979. Fawcett finally achieved critical praise as a serious actress for her role as a battered wife in the 1984 television movie, The Burning Bed.
She also won acclaim in the stage and movie version of Extremities. In this role, she played a rape victim who turns the tables on her attacker. Fawcett has appeared nude at least twice in Playboy, the most recent appearance was when she was 50. In 2005, Fawcett starred in a reality series for the TV Land network, Chasing Farrah, which chronicles the day in the life of the sex symbol. It also showed her relationship with Ryan O'Neal, father of her son, Redmond, which is still going strong.
