Farrah Fawcett Dies At Age 62 

Farrah Fawcett passed away this morning at 9:28 am PST at age 62. Fawcett had been bravely battling anal cancer for several years.

Fawcett died at St. John’s Heath Center in Santa Monica, Calif.; she was with longtime partner Ryan O’Neal, friend Alana Stewart, friend and hairdresser Mela Murphy and her doctor Lawrence Piro. She had recently returned to St. John’s for treatment of complications from anal cancer, first diagnosed three years ago.

In our hearts and minds, though, she lives on forever and will be remembered in that iconic swimsuit flashing that mega-watt smile.

Our condolences to her family and friends and everyone who was touched by her work, her life and her spirit.

“She’s gone. She now belongs to the ages. She’s now with he mother and sister and her God. I loved her with all my heart. I will miss her so very, very much. She was in and out of consciousness. I talked to her all through the night. I told her how very much I loved her. She’s in a better place now.”

O’Neal says that Farrah was surrounded by her many doctors and close friends when she passed away. He says, “She was with her team when she passed … Her eyes were open, but she didn’t say anything. But you could see in her eyes that she recognized us.”

Though O’Neal recently said that he and Fawcett had planned to wed, they did not tie the knot. “There just wasn’t time, and Farrah wasn’t in any condition to do it,” says O’Neal.

Ryan says a funeral service will be held at the downtown Catholic cathedral in Los Angeles in the next few days.
