Nice, but I was always more a Kate Jackson fan.

Still, that is one awful way to go, and so young yet...

Rest In Peace, Whacky Blonde!

What man or boy who lived through 70's doesn't remember this poster?

Man alive.

What I remember most is the Noxema Shave Cream commercials with Joe
Namath:

"Take it off..... take it all off....."

Yikes. Two yikes and half.

Sadly, her passing has been eclipsed by the sudden death of Michael
Jackson.

A beautiful, talented actress who displayed a lot of courage during
her fight with cancer.

A child molesting, pop star who dangled his baby from a balcony and
tried to change his race.

Go figure.

I'm sad to here about him and feel for his his family too but no
eclipse here. Her shining sun out shone that burned out pop star long
ago.

One of my workers theorized that Farah could now go in quiet dignity
and peace. No hoopla. I watched her documentary. She was strong.
Mark Sanford is pretty happy, I bet.

And yet we all know who will get the great bulk of the headline space.
How sad.

Let's not forget that before the mental "issues" he was a very
successful musician, performer and writer. Such collections as "Off the
Wall" and "Thriller" were critically and commercially successful, the
latter being the largest selling album of all time. At the time I
thought about buying one but airplay was saturated with it. IIRC seven
of the songs on "Thriller" reached the top 10. Like it or not, he was huge.

Most definitely. She was also one of those rare starlets who aged
gracefully and didn't embarrass herself like so many others have done.

I have the greatest respect for Michael's talent and in his day he was
the king. May he rest in peace. I think it is actually fitting that
Farrah could have some of the glare taken off of her passing to give
her just some minor amount of privacy.

Honestly, the gal went a bit bonkers herself in the last few years but
I don't think her smile was every hiding any thing as some others do.
It was just her joy coming through.

Agree ... Nothing more than a POS venerated by a culture steeped in
wretched excess.

Doesn't make it not so. Was the discussion about you?

2.5 yikes, in any case!

She was all of that, and the subject of one of the iconic images of the '70s
besides.

Hey, he couldn't help being nuts. Far as I know he never hurt anybody or
even wanted to. Always struck me as an insanely talented little kid who
never had to grow up.

A world without either of them seems somehow diminished. Without both even
more so. Whatever else you have to say about them, neither one was
ordinary.

I'm certain that there were many shaving cream commercials, but I think
the former post refers to this one. (And, I agree "two yikes and a half)

Maybe you don't appreciate pop music?

Not that particular type of pop music, anyway.... My tastes in pop music run
more toward Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, George Thorogood, and the
like.

Main thing, though, is that I rarely watch TV. I listen to the radio. Don't
watch music videos -- so I never saw, and don't care, how well the guy could
dance. All I have to go on is what I can hear, and IMO he was at best a
mediocre singer and songwriter. Seems to me MJ was more style than substance.

It was in fact Farrah.

Farrah did indeed make a Noxema ad with Joe Namath, in 1973. But the "take
it off... take it all off ad" was Gunilla Hutton in 1965, years before
Farrah Fawcett could do justice to a bikini, I'll wager.

Lots of folks died this week, most of them I don't know. Of these 3

last week, him I'll miss.

FF was born in 1947, and so would have been 18 in 1965.

Speaking of tiresome pedants.... the point was that most 18-year-olds are
amply able to "do justice to a bikini".

Well put, Jack ... all the hoopla and canceling of regular programming
to run prime time specials on, and venerate, a sleazy child molester who
took advantage of a "justice for sale" legal system, was a thoroughly
disgusting display of misplaced sentiment ... but, about what we've come
to expect from a shallow, ignorant, media driven, culture.

Can certainly relate.

Ever thought about sitting in for Andy Rooney some week end?

The original point was that Farrah Fawcett was not the hottie in the Noxema
"take it off" ads. The bikini business was to indicate her relative
youthfulness in 1965. Your pointing out her actual age when the original
ads were made is pedantry.

I'll leave it to anyone who gives a rat's ass to decide how tiresome the
whole thing is at this point.
