An Icon From Our Childhood Passes
Whether you were a fan or not, you could not help but be affected by this woman if you grew up during the 70's.
Farrah Fawcett was certainly an icon in my generation. The feathered hair, her build, she was what all of the teenie boppers of my generation wanted to look like. Of course, being an olive-skinned brunette, I had no chance of imitating her, lol, but she was a woman that many young girls tried to emulate.
Personally, I was not a big fan of her acting ability, however, be that as it may, one must recognize her significant impact on our culture and on my generation.
She suffered terribly over the past few years undergoing treatment for the cancer that ultimately took her life, and one must feel compassion for her, as in the end, superstar or not, we are all human.
May she Rest In Peace and be welcomed into her God's arms.
