It is unfortunate that Michael Jackson has either died or tried to usurp Farrah’s day. I will surely remember the true artist and personally true to herself person that Farrah was and wish that the spotlight were on her today. She was truly a real person who tried to live her life out of the spotlight. I respect her desire to live her private life privately and she was so much more than her pin-up girl body and face, she really had substance and was a real person despite her fame. I truly hope that Michael is not trying to pretend his death to avoid a real working tour and trying to take the spotlight from Farrah. Rest in peace Farrah.
‘kate’ are you eating your words? Michael and Farrah – two true artists. I hope you both find the peace you’ve been searching for.
I REMEMBER WATCHING YOU AS I GREW UP , MY BROTHER TOO. WE NEVER MISSED ANYTHING YOU DONE ON TV OR WE NEVER MISSED READING ANYTHING YOU’VE DONE . NOW WE WILL MISS YOU . YOU WILL BE MISSED FARRAH ,LOVE YA.
I am 40yrs old, I watched all her movies,tv series, ect, Farrah was a women whom was a light for me and I shall remember her as the beautiful person she was on the out side and truly on the inside. I hope people will donate to the cure for cancer, so no one else has to die. Please lets not allow another person die in vain.
Kate are you suggesting that Michael Jackson faked his death or died on purpose to one up Farrah Fawcette? I know have heard every loony plot imaginable. I am truly amazed at people in this country. No wonder the Chinese are blowing by us. RiP Michael and Farrah. May you find peace in the after life.

You are our angel. You gave us the entertainment we lacked. May you find peace in your resting world.
RIP, you were my first crush and you will be missed. I am happy you are no longer in pain and are now a true angel. My prayers for Ryan and Redman.
Kate: You are an idiot! I hope you are eating your words. Two great entertainers have passed – just say: RIP and leave it at that.
Farrah, may you rest in peace. I used to want to be you when I grew up because of CHarlies’s Angels. I still want to be you when I grow up – to be able to look into the face of fear and not back down. I can only hope that I have half the courage you had throughout your battle against this terrible disease. You have given me inspiration. I hope you are now pain free and in a better place now. My prayers are with you and, most importantly, your friends and family especially Ryan and your son. You are America’s Angel and always will be.
