Major bummer in our household. My wife considered her roles in stuff like the "Burning Bed" and other Lifetime chick flicks to be outstanding.

My sister-in-law (a flight attendant) spent most of a quiet cross-country red-eye flight talking with her a few years ago. Said she was genuinely a very warm-hearted person.

Her famous red swimsuit poster was my sole pin-up in my college dorm room.

RIP, your suffering is over.

that is too bad

Good bye, Farrah
(she could act too, very well)

That's the one! I just read about how that famous shot was made in the front seat of a 1937 Chevy Pickup.

Must have been a bit chilly

I think that poster is the reason I need glasses today.

Correction straight from the photographer: The shot was at her house off Mulholland Drive. The background is a Mexican blanket that covered the seat of the photographers beat-up 1937 Chevy PU.

It makes sense why this poster was special to me. I was a 16-year-old teenager in L.A. when it came out in '76 and that of course is when I got my license and into cars.

one of my friends here went to HS with her, he said she didnt look anything in HS like she did later ,....but she grew into herself eventually....

I knew two sisters in elementary, ugliest gangly ducklings imaginable, kids always made fun of them. I was "introduced" again to one of them at a party when I was in my 20's. Whoo hah!! [censored] near was slack jawed...what a stunner...just goes to show.....well not sure what but least I was not one of the guys that berated them !

when I was 19-20 we had a little Miss Roslagen contest out in the country where I lived in the summer in Sweden ..we "selected" one cute girl, there were a pair of twins in the contest , they didnt win, but pretty nice slim girls....but abouit 6 mo later they were in Playboy...looking lots better! Dont remember their names, but this must have been around 1962? or so...

I don't care what my wife TOLD me to do, I never took the her poster down in the shop!! What a loss.....

She was an icon, the Marilyn Monroe of my generation.

It's a truly sad day.

I`ll miss her alot more than I`ll miss Wacko, sorry , I mean Jacko.

Me too. The thing about last night was I was all set to see the tributes to her on TV.

And then Wacko Jacko stole the stage and trashed everything.

I wonder if I still have my poster stashed someplace...

She always seemed like a beautiful American in both appearance and as a person. What a contrast to the freakshow that died later in the day. Sadly, the freakshow gets most of the media attention.

freakshows always do

I think all the publicity to Jacko is so that the media can get the interveiws with the family. After they get all they can the coverage will turn to the horrible allegations he did to children (which I believe is true), may he burn in hell!

It was sad to hear she lost the battle with her cancer. I just bought and watched the DVD of the Cannonball Run last week. A lot of stars in that are no longer with us.

"I love trees...."

Farrah showed up in heaven. God told her she had one wish. She wished for the world's children to be safe.


God killed Michael Jackson.

Dang - that's a good one!

The autopsy for Jacko revealed that the cause of death was food poisoning.... And the culprit was (drum roll please) he had ingested twelve year old nuts

Double dang, great!
