A Star is Born: A Star is Gone

Her name is Farrah Fawcett.

Such a beautiful woman! Everyone wore \’\'The Farrah hair \” for years and some still do! You have a wonderful tribute to her here. It is horrendous to view the reactions of rubber-neckers, (the curious) and know the attraction to the possiblities of filth rather than view and pay respects to heroes and heroines This can be one – [more] – pitiful – world.

Again Phil, you did it again. It’s a shame they didn’t remember ” Ladies before Gentleman. You hit the nail square on this one.

Pity her ‘departure’ has been overshadowed by a ‘lesser light’ – a very brave & beautiful woman
