Another offensive part of that video is what a horrible dancer Paris is. She was one step away from an amateur modern dance show.

I think Demi and Bruce's youngest is a Talulah (sp?).

Tallulah Bankhead was a famous actress in the 1930's-40's. Her father was a congressman and was actually speaker of the house in his day. She was quite a racy woman in her time, an admitted bisexual who admitted to frequently using cocaine.

That's very good news Colord. Let's hope she stays in remission.

I like the name Tallulah. And yeah, it does make me think of Tallulah Bankhead, but also Bruce and Demi's daughter.

I didn't know that Farrah was cancer free ... that's wonderful news!! And she does look amazing! Just for the record, I like Tallulah as well. I love old names, there's meaning to them.

When Farah's pic was posted upthread a day or two ago, I thought about her and wondered about her health. Then I heard that she's cancer free (in remission) just today on an entertainment program.

There are several towns named Tallulah. Demi's daughter is Tallulah Belle Willis. I like the name.

Actor Ryan O'Neal was arrested early yesterday morning at his Malibu, Calif., home. O'Neal, 65, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon after a fight with his 42-year-old son, according to police. Griffin O'Neal was reportedly not injured, but his 22-year-old girlfriend, Joanne Berry, received what is being classified as "minor injuries," Sgt. Ken Crocker said last night. According to reports, deputies went to Ryan's Malibu beach house shortly after midnight following a call stating that Griffin O'Neal and Berry had allegedly been attacked by the elder O'Neal. Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies also charged O'Neal with negligent discharge of a firearm, Sgt. Crocker stated. Ryan O'Neal was released from jail at 5:30 a.m. yesterday after reportedly posting $50,000 bail. It's rather sad that this all happened right on the eve of Farrah's good news.

Ryan has always been a loose cannon.

Griffin also has a troubled past[he's the one who was driving the boat that killed Francis Ford Coppola's son Giancarlo IIRC, and he was drunk or drugged at the time]. But it seems like all those O'Neal kids are a mess.

I read Tatum's book and they really didn't have parental supervision. Both parents had problems of their own.

I place most of his kid's troubles right at his doorstep. His meaness twisted them so badly it's a wonder they are still alive. I think Tatum probably stands the best chance of pulling though in the long run, but the way she talked on 'Dancing With The Stars' was so sad to listen too. You could see the damage that was done to her by her very juvenile way of talking and whining. So sad!

Yeah, I know, Mamie, I read the book too. I didn't get a sense that it was a 'Mommy Dearest' type of rant. Did you? Tatum seemed more than willing to take her share of blame for some of her poor choices.

One more thing: When Laurence Olivier was asked how he did some wonderful part, he said, 'It's called acting'. Well, when Tatum did 'Paper Moon' I thought her hard as nails role was a bit more than acting. I think at that young age her parents cruelty was starting to show in her demeanor.

Well, yeah, since she was treated as an unsupervised adult from an early age, she probably took in ALL the blame. No thanks to either parent. But since Ryan has been violent in his adult life, that is hardly the fault of his kids. It wasn't a Mommie Dearest probably because she hasn't tapped into what would be justifiable anger.

Oh and of course she has to take credit for her own adult life, noto saying she doesn't.

Pamy, they never married. Their son has had his share of problems as well. OG, I didn't get the feeling that she blamed either parent that much. It read like "this is just the way it was."

I don't think they've ever been married and they have been on again off again several times. She was married to Lee Majors for almost 9 years, though
quote:Farrah Fawcett, was a fresh faced woman from Corpus Christi, Texas. In the early 1960s, she was voted the "Beautiful Woman" by her high school colleagues. In the late 1960s, she had her first break in guest-starring roles in shows such as "I Dream of Jeannie" (1965), "The Flying Nun" (1967) and "The Partridge Family" (1970). Then, in 1968, she dated actor Lee Majors, and the couple were married on July 28, 1973. Shortly after, Majors starred in his series "The Six Million Dollar Man" (1974) and Farrah guest-starred in four episodes. As her career took off, she posed in her red bathing suit for a poster, and it sold a staggering 8,000,000 plus copies. After the poster was released, producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg starred her in the Crime/Drama Megahit show "Charlie's Angels" (1976). Farrah received a paycheck for $10,000 an episode, and when it started to take off, Majors wanted her home by 6:30 pm to have dinner on the table. Farrah felt dissatisfied about both her contract and her paycheck. Then, in 1977, after the first season wrapped, she abruptly left the series. Shortly there after, the departure resulted in a lawsuit with the producers of the series. Finally, she agreed to return to the series in guest spots for six episodes: three in the 1978-79 season, and the other three in the 1979-80 season. In late 1979, Fawcett and Majors had separated, and, since there was no reconciliation in sight, they were divorced in 1980. Farrah dated Ryan O'Neal from 1980-1997. Then, in 1998, Farrah was severely injured by James Orr, after she had spurned his proposal of marriage.

Fawcett and O'Neal rekindled their romance in 2001, after he was diagnosed with leukemia and she appeared at his doorstep, offering to help in any way she could. They visited their heroin-addicted son Redmond in rehab together, and Fawcett and O'Neal have been living together again since she was diagnosed with intestinal cancer in 2006. In February 2007, her doctor told Fawcett she had shown "a full and complete response to treatment", and was cancer-free. *Source*

"Extremities" is a fine piece of acting by Farrah.

I think I best remember her in The Burning Bed and in Small Sacrifices. She was much more than a pretty face.
