Actress and pinup girl Farrah Fawcett died today at the age of 62, succumbing to rectal cancer that she’s been battling since 2006. She passed away in the company of longtime partner Ryan O’Neal (who in recent days had pledged to marry Fawcett before she died), a doctor and another friend. Her son, Redmond O’Neal, wasn’t present. Many Americans followed her much-publicized cancer struggle in recent years, especially with the release of the documentary Farrah’s Story, but she will always be remembered for her iconic posters, and her role on Charlie’s Angels.
