She burst on to the TV screen in 1976 as one third of the crime-fighting trio of Charlie's Angels. A poster of her in a clingly swimsuit sold in the millions.
Fawcett, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith comprised the original "Angels," the sexy, police-trained trio of martial arts experts who took their assignments from a mysterious boss named Charlie who was never seen on camera but whose distinctive voice was heard on a speaker phone.
The program debuted in September 1976, the height of what some critics derisively referred to as television's "jiggle show" era, and it gave each of the actresses ample opportunity to show off their figures as they disguised themselves in bathing suits and as hookers and strippers to solve crimes.
Backed by a clever publicity campaign, Farrah quickly became the most popular Angel of all.
She had been diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006. As she underwent treatment, she enlisted the help of actor Ryan O'Neal her longtime companion and was the father of her son, Redmond, now 24.
Everybody will surely miss you our dear favorite Angel... farewell.
