Farrah Fawcett Dies After Receiving Last Rites
June 26, 2009
.- Farrah Fawcett, a star of the television classic “Charlie’s Angels,” succumbed to cancer on Thursday after receiving last rites.
On Wednesday night a priest had been summoned to the Los Angeles hospital where the 62-year-old Fawcett was being treated for anal cancer, the New York Daily News says. Her struggle with the illness was chronicled in an NBC documentary.
The New York Daily News described Fawcett as a “devout Catholic.”
She and her longtime fiancé Ryan O’Neal had agreed to marry.
“Farrah is fighting for her life. But we will wed as soon as she can say yes,” Neal told Barbara Walters in a “20/20” interview before Fawcett’s death. “Maybe we can just nod her head.”
The two have a 24-year-old son, Redmond O’Neal.

May she rest in the peace of Christ. How sad to have such a public battle with illness. I think she handled it like a lady. So glad to hear she received last rites.
May she receive the peace she was seeking during her lifetime. Thank You Farrah for the courage to allow the media to chronicle, in a documentary, your fight with cancer.
Her film has elevated awareness of Cancer and has saved lives thru her education. End the end she showed catholic/christian virtue by using her condition and celebrity position in life for the good of others.
