TIMELESS, AGELESS

Favorite 'Angel' Farrah Fawcett Succumbs to Cancer, Lives Forever On YouTube

SHE WAS THE BLONDE BOMBSHELL WHO CATAPULTED TO FAME ON CHARLIE'S ANGELS. She left after one season because the public's appetite grew larger than her paycheck from the TV show.

She was the Megan Fox of the moment -- gorgeous and dippy and flirty -- whose all-American good looks help sell as many as 12 million posters of her bedecked in a bathing suit.

Farrah, born in Texas, was barely paid attention to as an actress until she appeared in the made-for-TV movie, The Burning Bed.

Wikipedia gives a succinct summary of her life and her death today at age 62 of cancer.

"I will miss Farrah every day," former Angels' co-star Kate Jackson told People. "She was a selfless person who loved her family and friends with all her heart, and what a big heart it was."

But it's on YouTubewhere Farrah will remain forever young: alive and well and gorgeous.

Before reaching the heights of her fame in 1976, Farrah sold Noxema and Mercury Cougar and toothpaste and even her own brand of shampoo. The tagline for that one? "Something beautiful happens to your hair."

That's the blessing -- and the curse -- of pictures and video: They make it too easy to forget that eventually we all die.
