Farrah Fawcett's passing has been a bit overshadowed, given that she ended up succumbing to her long battle with cancer the same day Michael Jackson passed away. Not that it's a competition, but Michael's bizarre life and death has received a lion's share of the public's attention. Therefore when this little tidbit came my way, I felt compelled to write a post. Here are the details, via Us Magazine: [Before Farrah Fawcett died of cancer, the star reconnected
with her ex-husband, Lee Majors, after more than two decades of silence. When Farrah got diagnosed, and it became public, Lee
started calling Farrah's close friends to get updates on her. He did that for two and a half years. He just wanted to know
how she was doing because he still cared about her as a friend. This past February, her birthday, he decided to call
her for the first time. They spoke for the first time in 23 years. They had a 40-minute phone conversation about her life,
and the cancer and it was such a lovely moment for the two of them. I guess it
was a very good conversation. They joked, and they got a little bit
emotional. I think it was good given the current
situation [for] closure, otherwise they never would've spoken again. I think he
always wanted to talk to her again, but he was just afraid to speak to her
before.]
It's wonderful that she was able to make peace with her former husband before she passed. I'm not so sure about this Ryan O'Neal character, but Lee Majors sounds alright. Farrah will be laid to rest this afternoon, during a private ceremony in Los Angeles. Rest in peace, Angel.
