Poor Farrah Fawcett got bitch-slapped by a bedazzled white glove on Friday when Michael Jackson rudely passed hours after her.Someone oughta give Farrah her due. Okay, I'll do it.
Forget about the cheesecake poster, or the stoned appearance on Letterman. Wedged in between were some damn challenging roles. Did you know that before Farrah won a Golden Globe for Best Actress for the movie Extremities, she’d appeared off-Broadway in the film’s theatrical version, replacing Susan Sarandon? Pretty nifty.
And let’s not forget how great she was opposite Robert Duvall in the The Apostle. (Though my pal Jim Gleason stole the film.) All told, she appeared in over 50 TV shows and movies, plus she was married to the Bionic Man. That’s one helluva life.
Do us a favor, CNN, and wedge in just a teensy bit of props for Farrah. I’ve had an ass-full of Neverland coverage.
