Charlie's Angel Star,Farrah Fawcett Dies at Age 62

Charlie’s Angels star, Farrah Fawcett, died Thursday after battling cancer for three years at the age of 62.

She reportedly had recently returned to St. John's for treatment of complications from anal cancer, first diagnosed three years ago.

Fawcett was well known for her fabulous trend setting big blond hair and as a stunning beauty in 1976 as one-third of the crime-fighting trio in TV's "Charlie's Angels." Her stunning looks and bright smile made her a pop icon of the 1970s.

Days before her death, her longtime love Ryan O’Neal said he hoped she would hang on long enough for them to wed. “I’ve asked her to marry me, again, and she’s agreed,” O’Neal, 68, told Barbara Walters in a “20/20″ interview which will air tonight at 10pm. O'Neal said, “As soon as she can say yes,” he said. “Maybe we can just nod her head.”

Ryan O'Neal was teary eyed as he talked about Farrah and their son Redmond who is incarcerated but was allowed to leave so he could say his final goodbye's to his beloved mom. He stated in the "20/20" interview that Farrah was never told of her son's incarceration.

The world has lost one of it's most beautiful and courageous women. My heartfelt condolences go out to Mr. O'Neil and the family of Farrah Fawcett.

Ms. Fawcett, you will be missed by all of your Charlie's Angel's fans. Rest In Peace, Angel.
