How Did She Keep This Up For So Long?

farrah-fawcett-vf-mag-cvr.jpgHow did the beautiful Farrah Fawcett keep up her sham of a relationship with Ryan O'Neal? Now that Farrah has passed, the dirty laundry is being aired about Ryan and it's not pretty. All the better that she was smart enough not to marry him - and that she left him nary a penny in the end. Disturbing revelations, via September's Vanity Fair: 

[The late Farrah Fawcett graces the cover of Vanity Fair magazine's September 2009 issue.  The article is a particularly scathing account of the dysfunctional relationship between the actress and Ryan O'Neal, as well as his estranged relationship with his children.

One startling revelation is that O'Neal hit on his own daughter at Farrah's funeral.  Tatum O'Neal, who hadn't seen her father for several years prior to Fawcett's death, ran into her father's arms after the memorial service and hugged him.  He didn't recognize her and said, "You have a drink on you?  You have a car?"  She replied, "Daddy, it's me -- Tatum."  She acknowledges, "That's our relationship in a nutshell.  You make of it what you will."

Tatum said that the relationship between father and daughter deteriorated when she was 16-years-old and he began his relationship with Farrah.  She doesn't blame Fawcett, who she said was inspirational, beautiful and kind.]

It's sad that only death Farrah's found peace. As for Ryan - I don't think there's peace for him, no matter where he may roam. Sick stuff.
