I'll miss you Farrah

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

[Robatoy]

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

Rest In Peace, Whacky Blonde!

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.

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.

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

And I never could understand why.

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

That wasn't Farrah Fawcett, but Gunilla Hutton.

2.5 yikes, in any case!

[J. Clarke]

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.

Maybe you don't appreciate pop music?

[Doug Miller]

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.
