American actress Farrah Fawcett (1947-2009) became known as Jill Munroe in the television series Charlie's Angels (1976-1981). In the 1970s, she was considered a sex symbol. Later, her reputation as a serious actress grew, and Fawcett was nominated four times for the Emmy and six times for the Golden Globe but was never honoured.

Farrah Fawcett was born Mary Ferrah Leni Fawcett in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1947. She was the younger daughter of Pauline Alice and James William Fawcett, who worked in the oil business. Her mother came up with the name ‘Ferrah’ because she thought it fit the surname so well. Fawcett later changed it to Farrah. As a child, she showed sporting ability, which her father encouraged. She attended John J. Pershing Middle School in Houston and graduated from W.B. Ray High School in 1965. She studied at the University of Texas at Austin and was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority. She graduated with a degree in Microbiology, but she only wanted to be an actress. Winning a campus beauty contest got her noticed by an agent. She moved to Los Angeles, and her healthy, all-American blond beauty was immediately noticed. In 1968, she met another Southerner, actor Lee Majors, star of the popular TV series The Big Valley (1965), on a blind date set up by their publicists. He became very taken with her and also used his standing to promote her career. Fawcett started her career in commercials, including Noxema shaving soap, Ultra Bright toothpaste, Wella and the Mercury Cougar. Her earliest acting appearances were guest spots on The Flying Nun (1969) and I Dream of Jeannie (1969–1970). She also appeared in the French romantic-drama Un homme qui me plaît / Love Is a Funny Thing (Claude Lelouch, 1969) with Jean-Paul Belmondo and Annie Girardot and played Mary-Jane Phelbs in the cult film Myra Breckinridge (Michael Sarne, 1970) with Raquel Welch, John Huston and Mae West. The controversial picture follows the exploits of a transgender woman who has undergone a sex change operation. She won a recurring role in the crime series, Harry O (1973). Fawcett married Lee Majors in 1973 and was, from then on, known as Farrah Fawcett-Majors. She played in four episodes of his popular TV series, The Six Million Dollar Man (1974), about a cyborg. Farrah also had a supporting part in the successful Science-Fiction film Logan's Run (Michael Anderson, 1976) starring Michael York. Farrah Fawcett-Majors became a star through the series Charlie's Angels (1976-1977), with co-stars Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith. The series was about three female detectives working for an investigative agency called Charles Townsend Agency. Charlie's Angels was a global success. Each of the three actresses was propelled to stardom, but Fawcett dominated popularity polls. She received her first Golden Globe nomination for her work in the show. Her hairstyle was copied by millions of women, and a poster of her in a red swimming suit sold six million copies in its first year in print and became the best-selling poster to date. Fawcett left Charlie's Angels after the first season to pursue more challenging roles in feature films. Fawcett was sued by Aaron Spelling, the show's producer, for breach of contract. The settlement stipulated, among other things, that Fawcett had to make six guest appearances in seasons three and four of the series until 1980. In 1979, she separated from Majors, and the couple divorced in 1982.

After Charlie's Angels ended, Farrah Fawcett starred in several film flops. In 1979, People magazine called her ‘box office poison’ in an article. The British Sci-Fi thriller Saturn 3 (Stanley Donen, 1980) with Kirk Douglas was even nominated for three Razzie Awards, but the comedy The Cannonball Run (Hal Needham, 1981) with Burt Reynolds fared better and grossed over 70 million dollars in the USA. The mini-series Murder in Texas (William Hale, 1981), based on a true murder case, was also favourably received in the same year. Fawcett remained true to the true crime genre in the following years. She also made several very successful biopics and dramas based on true stories for television. In 1982, Farrah Fawcett got into a relationship with film star Ryan O'Neal. They never married, despite several marriage proposals. With O'Neal she has a son, Redmond O'Neal. In 1983, Fawcett received positive reviews for her performance in the controversial Off-Broadway play 'Extremities'. She played the role of an attempted rape victim who turns the tables on her attacker. Highly acclaimed was her performance in the television film The Burning Bed (Paul Greenwald, 1985) with Paul Le Mat. It tells the true story of Francine Hughes, who killed her husband after years of domestic violence. The Burning Bed was the highest-rated television movie of the season. She received both an Emmy and a Golden Globe nomination for her work. Fawcett was again nominated for an Emmy for the TV adaptation of Extremities (Robert M. Young, 1986). She was nominated for Golden Globe awards for roles as Beate Klarsfeld in Nazi Hunter: The Beate Klarsfeld Story (Michael Lindsay-Hogg, 1986) and troubled Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton in the biopic Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story (Charles Jarrott, 1987). Fawcett's reputation as a serious actress grew further with her roles as real-life murderer Diane Downs in the true-crime drama Small Sacrifices (David Greene, 1989) and groundbreaking LIFE magazine photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White in Double Exposure: The Story of Margaret Bourke-White (Lawrence Schiller, 1989). In 1995, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her television work. In December of that year, she posed nude for Playboy, helping the magazine achieve its highest circulation in the 1990s. In 1997, at the age of 50, she took her clothes off again. Fawcett garnered strong reviews for her role opposite Robert Duvall in the film The Apostle (Robert Duvall, 1997). That year, her relationship with O'Neal ended. In 1998, she was seriously hurt by her new partner, filmmaker James Orr, when he proposed to her and she refused. The relationship ended when Orr was arrested, charged, and later convicted of beating her. Fawcett and O'Neal rekindled their relationship in 2001. One of her later films was the romantic comedy Dr T & the Women (Robert Altman, 2000), starring Richard Gere in the title role and Fawcett as his wife. In the 21st century, she continued acting on television, holding recurring roles on the sitcom Spin City (2001) and the drama The Guardian (2002–2003). Her final film was the comedy The Cookout (Lance Rivera, 2004). In late 2006, Fawcett discovered that she suffered from anus cancer. The cancer later metastasised to her liver. During her treatments, she was filmed at her request for the documentary Farrah's Story (Farrah Fawcett, Alana Stewart, 2009). Farrah Fawcett died of the disease in 2009 at the age of 62. Shortly before her death, Ryan O'Neal had proposed to her. They wanted to get married as soon as possible. The wedding never took place. Farrah Fawcett was buried at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Westwood, Los Angeles. At its premiere airing, the documentary Farrah's Story was watched by nearly nine million people. Fawcett posthumously earned her fourth Emmy nomination as the producer. In 2011, the red one-piece bathing suit Farrah Fawcett wore in her famous 1976 poster was donated to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History (NMAH).

British postcard by Pyramid, no. PC 8079. Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith in Charlie's Angels (1976–1981).

In the legendary TV series Charlie's Angels (1976–1981), a wealthy mystery man named Charlie runs a detective agency via a speakerphone and his assistant, John Bosley. His detectives are three beautiful women, Jill, Kelly, and Sabrina, who were all former members of the Los Angeles Police Department. The three angels end up in a variety of difficult situations. The series was the first action hit for producer Aaron Spelling. It lasted for five seasons and spawned a remake show as well as two films, video games, soundtracks, merchandise, and a reboot movie.

The cast of Charlie's Angels (1976–1981) changed substantially over the life of this show, as actresses left for various film, television, and modelling deals. Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcett(-Majors) and Jaclyn Smith formed the first season's original 'Eye-Popping, Crime-Stopping trio'. Sabrina (Jackson) was the brains and the elegance, Jill (Fawcett), the modern, athletic, all-American beauty and Kelly (Smith), the street-wise beauty with a troubled past. It clicked between the three, and the show was more about the interaction of the characters than the plots. When Farrah Fawcett left the series, her absence was explained by having her character Jill become a professional racing driver on the Grand Prix circuit in Europe. Kate Jackson's absence was explained by having Sabrina get married and start a family. Subsequent angels were Cheryl Ladd as Jill's kid sister, Kris, Shelley Hack and Tanya Roberts. Producer Aaron Spelling had previously used Kate Jackson and Cheryl Ladd in the TV movie Satan's School for Girls (David Lowell Rich, 1973). David Doyle played John Bosley. Jaclyn Smith and Doyle were the only cast members to appear in all 116 episodes of the show. John Forsythe was called in at the last minute to voice Charlie when the original actor (Gig Young) who had been cast turned out to have a drinking problem. Producer Aaron Spelling called Forsythe past midnight on a Friday and begged him to come to the studio immediately, as the pilot was to be broadcast after the weekend. Forsythe ended up recording his first voice-over in his pajamas. Forsythe was uncredited throughout the series. He thought it would add more mystery to the show. If he had been credited, it would have had to say "voice only" because a stand-in was used whenever Charlie's partial back was filmed. John Forsythe was never on the set, his voice was recorded and dubbed in later.

Ivan Goff and Ben Roberts created Charlie's Angels and wrote 109 of the 116 episodes together. Among the directors were TV veterans like Dennis Donnelly (13 episodes) and Allen Barron (12 episodes) and British director Don Chaffey (10 episodes). Cult director Curtis Harrington, a specialist in offbeat and atmospheric low-budget independent horror pictures, also directed two episodes. When the series premiered in 1976, Farrah Fawcett, then 29, was the only star not to lie about her age. Jaclyn Smith, then 31, trimmed two years off, and Kate Jackson, then 28, trimmed one year off. Tanya Roberts was 31 when she joined the cast in 1980, but claimed to be 25. Charlie's Angels was not just a hit TV show, it was a phenomenon. Kate Jackson was the established actress in the group at the time, but it was Farrah Fawcett who became incredibly popular - thanks to her dazzling toothy smile, her skateboarding pose wearing Addia's, her shampoo, her toothpaste, her bathing suit poster and especially her iconic hair. Frenchman José Eber - an upscale hairstylist trained in Paris and working in Beverly Hills - created the 'Farrah do', that winged hairstyle Fawcett pioneered in Charlie's Angels. Many American women tried to recreate it. Charlie's Angels was in the top ten for its first two seasons: 1976 to 1977, number five, and 1977 to 1978, number four, competing in a three-way tie with 60 Minutes and All in the Family. There were Charlie's Angels dolls, bubble gum cards and stickers and on and on and on. After season 3, when Kate Jackson left, the audience tired of repeat scripts of previously aired titles and episodes revolving around character Kris Monroe, and ratings dwindled, and the show fell from the top 10. Producers stated the decision to let Shelley Hack go was partly due to declining ratings. They hoped the search for the next Angel would generate publicity. Ratings did not improve in season five. The show fell from the Top 30 and was cancelled. Years later, Jaclyn Smith made cameos in the films Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (McG, 2003), starring Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu, and Charlie's Angels (Elizabeth Banks, 2019), starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska.

The show fell from the Top 30 and was cancelled. Years later, Jaclyn Smith made cameos in the films Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (McG, 2003), starring Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu, and Charlie's Angels (Elizabeth Banks, 2019), starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska.

#MyFlickrYear24

From the most viewed and favorited to my personal favorites.

At L.A.'s Westwood Memorial Park. For those who remember the acting pair, "Farrah and Ryan never wed, though he popped the question twice -- the first time was in the early 1980s before their son, Redmond was born on Jan. 30, 1985. And then again just before Farrah died. He was by her side the entire time at the hospital, sleeping in a cot next to her bed." [From ET, Entertainment Tonight.]
