Farrah Fawcett died today of cancer at St. Johns’ Health Center in California. She was 62.

The Texan actress and sex symbol whose who shot to fame on “Charlie’s Angels” and later on the critically-acclaimed TV film “The Burning Bed,” was diagnosed with colon cancer in September of 2006. She also gained acclaim for a score of other TV, film, and stage credits through the years, downplaying her “sex symbol” status from the 1970’s.

We here at Shockya.com extend our deepest condolences to her friends and family.
