She was Hollywood's penultimate golden girl. And, now, Farrah Fawcett, who epitomized the all-American ideal of beauty, has died after a three-year battle with anal cancer. She was 62. Her spokesman, Paul Bloch, says Fawcett died Thursday morning in a Santa Monica hospital.

In September 2006, Fawcett learned she had anal cancer. The devastating news led to a reconciliation with her on-and-off boyfriend, Ryan O'Neal, 68, the father of their troubled son Redmond, 24. O'Neal was by her side as Fawcett went through chemotherapy and radiation treatments and the actress was declared cancer-free in February 2007. But later that spring, she learned the cancer had returned. After growing weary of ineffective treatments in the USA, Fawcett fled to Germany in September 2007 for alternative cancer therapies.

Farrah Fawcett, the "Charlie's Angels" star whose feathered blond hair and dazzling smile made her one of the biggest sex symbols of the 1970s, died Thursday after battling cancer. She was 62.

I sort of knew Farrah through a friend of mine. She was always a very outgoing woman especially to people who she barely knew. She was not like alot of stars who walk around like their crap doesn't stink. She was real and very approachable......... I will miss her ! Rest in Peace Farrah you surely will be missed

It's a shame, she was a sweet lady. And she was probably the only seriously good looking blonde I've ever seen.

Like many other great actresses, musicians, and so on, RIP Farrah.
