I was never a huge Farrah fan, despite my obsession with Charlie's Angels. It always seemed that she left because she thought she was too hot for the show that launched her career (perhaps bad advice from her management) The whole "leaving her husband for his best friend" kind of grated on me as well.
Through the years though, she managed to maintain her relationship with Ryan O'Neal - making it seem less tawdry & slightly more 'romantic'. She also did some good work, even going outside her "babe" comfort zone.
Most recently we've watched her wage her battle with cancer with more grace than many of us could muster. She and Ryan had just decided to marry, sadly she passed before he could make that happen.
She was an icon (of a very iconic time) - she will be missed.
