Beckie, you are correct Hugh Jackman is the hottest man alive. I will be crushed if he starts wearing tweed driving caps.

MAY GOD BLESS HER AND HER WONDERFUL FRIEND RYAN AS THEY GO THROUGH THIS AWFUL TIME IN THEIR LIVES. Cancer Has Robbed Fawcett Of Her Famous Hair 6 May 2009 6:35 PM, PDT Farrah Fawcett's cancer battle has robbed her of her famous hair. The ailing actress' longtime partner, Ryan O'Neal, has spoken out about the Charlie's Angels star's brave fight, telling People magazine Fawcett is not set for the "last rites" just yet. But he does admit she's a gaunt shadow of her bubbly former self - and looks nothing like the pin-up whose blonde locks were the most copied by women in the late 1970s. He tells the publication, "Farrah has lost her famous hair. I have it at home. She didn't care." And she's so weakened from inoperable anal cancer, which has spread to her liver, she has little energy - and can hardly speak in sentences. He reveals, "She stays in bed now."

So sad. It doesn't sound good, but I hope she does get through it. Hair does not matter. It will grow back. Farrah could turn out a natural brunette!

I read an article earlier where it's pretty much just waiting game now... her treatment has ended and she's home in bed. Ryan says he doesn't know what to do or how to do anything. But he did say they laugh about her lack of hair... he rubs her tiny head and wonders how she could have all that hair there.

Here is a longer version where Ryan talks about not telling Farrah she is dying and not telling Farrah Redmond is in trouble .. but I think they know.. mabye he's juet telling himself in a way.
quote:O'Neal Devastated Over Fawcett's Health PopEater posted: 14 HOURS 21 MINUTES AGOcomments: Ryan O'Neal, the longtime companion of Farrah Fawcett, is opening up about her illness and how it's affecting their family. "It's a love story. I just don't know how to play this one. I won't know this world without her. Cancer is an insidious enemy," he tells PEOPLE Ryan O'Neal is opening up about his longtime companion Farrah Fawcett's struggle with cancer and his own fears watching her battle. "It's a love story. I just don't know how to play this one. I won't know this world without her. Cancer is an insidious enemy," he says A Look at Farrah: Farrah Fawcett has been released from the hospital after suffering from internal bleeding. "She's walking and in great in spirits and looking forward to celebrating Easter at home. Her home has been stocked with her favorite teas and food and she's looking forward to enjoying them," her doctor, Lawrence Piro, said. Fawcett had abdominal bleeding and a "quite painful" hematoma after undergoing aggressive alternative treatments in her three-year battle with anal cancer in Germany. She flew back to Los Angeles because she was anxious to come home and is using a wheelchair because the pain makes it difficult to walk. Longtime lover Ryan O'Neal, seen with Fawcett in 2004, was by her side. Fawcett is best known for playing Jill Munroe in the series 'Charlie's Angels' back in the 1970s. Her undeniable sex appeal helped make the show a gigantic hit and established the actress as the top pin-up model for millions of men (and adolescent boys). It quickly became clear who the top Angel was on the show when it premiered in 1976, though Jaclyn Smith, left, and Kate Jackson were no slouches themselves. Fawcett left the show after only one season, but came back sporadically in later years. She was replaced by the also saucy Cheryl Ladd. The show ran until 1981. Fawcett has always had an idea as to why the show was such a success with viewers. "When the show was number three, I figured it was our acting," she has said about ratings. "When it got to be number one, I decided it could only be because none of us wears a bra." The Texas native began doing shampoo commercials and TV guest spots in the early 1970s and eventually caught the eye of producers who cast the unknown beauty in 'Angels.' Her tousled and feathered hair style was "The Rachel" of its time and has been copied by generations. She showed her acting chops -- and garnered one of three Emmy nominations -- for her portrayal as a battered wife in the acclaimed 1984 TV movie 'The Burning Bed.' In 1983, Fawcett made her Off-Broadway debut in the play 'Extremeties' where she played a woman who thwarts a would-be rapist and imprisons him in her fireplace. She went on to star in the 1986 film adaptation. Since her divorce from Lee Majors in 1982, Fawcett has been romantically linked to Ryan O'Neal. Their son, Redmond, was born in 1985 and has long struggled with drug addiction. O'Neal was arrested April 5 outside a jail in California after police found controlled substances in his car during a routine search. He had just finished dropping two friends off at the facility to visit someone. According to TMZ, one of the substances was heroin. The 'Charlie's Angels' star is suffering from anal cancer that has spread to the other organs in her body. She was also recently hospitalized due to complications from a surgery she had in Germany. "She stays in bed now. The doctors see that she is comfortable. Farrah is on IVs, but some of that is for nourishment. The treatment has pretty much ended," O'Neal describes. The 'Love Story' star also talks about the day Fawcett learned she had cancer. "Farrah was devastated. It was horrible, terrible news," he says. Due to her treatments, Fawcett's famous locks are gone. "The hair is gone. Her famous hair. I have it at home. She didn't care. I rub her head. It's kind of fun, actually, this great, tiny little head. How she carried all that hair I'll never know. She doesn't have a vanity about it," O'Neal explains To make matters worse, the couple's son Redmund O'Neal is in jail on drug charges. "Farrah doesn't know Redmond's in trouble. And Redmond is terrified for his mother. 'I don't want to be in jail and have some guard tell me she is gone,' he said to me. I told him, 'She's rebounding.' I lied to him. I lie to her. It's the best thing," O'Neal admits. The actor is also dealing with his own pain. "I can't hear a song, I can't pass places that we were together, without being stabbed in the heart. A week ago Farrah said to me, 'Am I going to make it?' I said, 'Yes, you'll make it. And if you don't, I'll go with you,'" he says. But, he says Fawcett has accepted her illness. "Farrah has never, ever talked about how unfair it is. But I've thought about it. She may have thought to herself that she had been chosen to do this, that some higher power had put her in this situation. Because then there would be something positive to come out of it. And maybe that's true. But I'm just not so sure it's something positive for Farrah."

Thanks for bringing that over, Sea. So sad. Yet so loving. FF was also so very good to her parents. I have seen clips of them together over the years and always found their relationship to be so strong. Yes, OG...two of her very, very great works.

Thanks Sea. Tragic all the way around. She's slipping away, their son is in jail, and his heart is broken.

Thanks, Nyheat. I now have my TiVo programmed to record it. Og, don't forget about Extremities. Farrah got praise for that role on stage and film.

I watched Farrah's Story tonight...incredibly heartbreaking. It's hard to even find words to talk about it, it was such a raw look into her life with this horrific cancer.

It looks to be very well done!

I DVR'd it, and was trying to watch it as it taped. I found myself leaving the room a number of times because it was so difficult to watch, but I will be able to see it in its entirety when I am able. It hits very close to home for me since by best friend is currently going through non-standard treatments to prolong her life. And there has been plenty of cancer in my family, friends, and of my own. Farrah shows great class in how she has dealt with her cancer. Alana Stewart is an amazing friend, and Ryan O'Neal clearly loves Farrah. When they brought their son Redmond home from the jail (got a 3 hour pass so he could spend time with his mother)...gutwrenching.

I did watch it. Prior, I thought it might be mostly fluff or simply retrospective about her career. It was anything but. Alana said in the beginning that Farrah wanted her to film everything. She did. The ups and downs, the good and the bad. It was all there. I wish her peace and happiness -- wherever it is that she finds it.

I found it very sad but also very uplifting in ways. Her attitude and faith are amazing. It was such a tribute to the human spirit. The scene with Redmond coming home was just heartbreaking. And watching Ryan's pain was very difficult. My heart really went out to her father.
