Farrah Fawcett passed away this morning at the age of 62 after losing a battle with cancer. The American actress, founding member of TV's Charlie's Angels and international beauty icon known for her good looks, hair and pinup posters has been honored in many print and online obituaries (Los Angeles Times and the New York Times to name a few)--and will also be remembered on air with news and a BIO Channel special.
Tonight, Dateline NBC will air a special tribute to Fawcett called Farrah Fawcett: The Life and Death of an Angel at 10 p.m. ET. In addition to a look at Farrah's life and her battle with cancer, the hour-long special will share recent interviews with Ryan O'Neal, Alana Stewart, her dad, sister, fellow Charlie's Angel Kate Jackson, and never before aired parts of a 1997 interview with Stone Phillips.
Then on Friday, June 26 at 9 p.m. ET, NBC News will re-broadcast Farrah's Story, a two-hour documentary about Farrah Fawcett's battle with cancer that she shot with her own video camera over the past two and a half years. The special first aired last month on NBC.
On Monday June 29, the BIO Channel will commemorate her life with BIO Remembers: Farrah Fawcett at 10 p.m. ET. The special will tell the actress' story from her rural upbringing in Corpus Christi through her life in Hollywood and beyond.
