Farrah Fawcett (Wiki)
Farrah Fawcett-Majors, known simply as Farrah Fawcett, was married to Lee Majors during the period that The Six Million Dollar Man was in production (1973-78) and featured as a guest star in four episodes of the series.
Farrah went on to achieve great success as one of the original three Charlie's Angels and had a small role in the 1976 film Logan's Run as "Holly". After leaving Charlie's Angels in 1979, Fawcett made a string of unsuccessful films such as the science fiction film Saturn 3 before gaining critical approval for her role in the groundbreaking TV movie The Burning Bed in 1984. She divorced Lee Majors in 1982.
Farrah continued appearing in film and TV productions, receiving an Emmy nomination for the 2003 telefilm The Guardian. Her personal life has also made headlines; a bizarre 1993 appearance on Late Night with David Letterman raised questions about her well-being, and in 2006 it was reported that she had cancer, though a year later she was reportedly cancer-free.
Fawcett was portrayed by Tricia Helfer in the 2004 telefilm Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of 'Charlie's Angels' which followed her rise to fame, and its affect on her marriage to Lee Majors (played by Ben Browder).

O'Neal says,
She stays in bed now. The doctors see that she is comfortable. Farrah is on IVs, but some of that is for nourishment."
It's a love story," he tells People. "I just don't know how to play this one. I won't know this world without her."

Comments
No real story yet, although it has been aired and/or premiered. No good-byes either. Just have to be positive and hope for her/Farrah to be in remission again. Best to Farrah and family.
I met Farrah when I was 13. She didn't have to be nice to me, but she was. That was 31 years ago and I can't help but feel that she must have been to others the same unforgettable person you only meet every 30 years and enjoy the memory every time.
