| On this day, Farrah Fawcett passed away. This was on the day the music died. Michael Jackson would die later that day. |
We all miss Michael Jackson.
The legendary pop star passed away on the day that iconic television actress and model Farrah Fawcett died.
When the junk food media was talking about Farrah Fawcett dying of cancer, many of the coverage focused on her. It wasn't until 2pm (EST) when the news broke that Jackson was being admitted to the hospital for medical reasons. It wasn't until 5pm (EST) before the junk food media went LIVE.
They covered Jackson's death and ignored Fawcett's death. Each death was significant. Not to mention the death of Ed McMahon who died a day before the news of these two iconic entertainers passing.
We all remember Farrah for her golden blonde hair which became an iconic trademark of the entertainer. She was a model, actress and humanitarian. She was a woman who captured hearts in her television work on the 1970s action drama Charlie's Angels.
She passed away at the age of 62.
It will be 10 years since Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson died. They both died on the same day and it was felt by many who knew them personally.
Redmond J. Fawcett-O'Neal, a troubled man and only son of Farrah and then husband Ryan O'Neal struggled through life with drugs. He and half-sister actress Tatum O'Neal vow to keep Farrah's legacy in tact.
Redmond did at least try to clean up his act. Until recently when he was charged with attempted murder.
I want to be clear that to this day will always will miss Michael Jackson. He was a part of my childhood and adult years. His death shook me.
It also gave me the chills. Cause years later, we lost Whitney Houston and Prince. They leave behind legacies of controversy and music.
Gone but never forgotten.
We will miss Farrah Fawcett. Entertainment lost a legend on June 25, 2009.
