1. Farrah Fawcett (February 2, 1947 – June 25,
2009) was an American actress. A multiple Golden Globe
and Emmy Award nominee, Fawcett rose to international
fame when she first appeared as private investigator Jill
Munroe in the TV series Charlie's Angels in 1976.
Fawcett later appeared off-Broadway to the approval of
critics and in highly rated television movies in roles
often challenging (The Burning Bed, Nazi Hunter: The
Beate Klarsfeld Story, Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara
Hutton Story, Margaret Bourke-White) and sometimes
unsympathetic (Small Sacrifices). Fawcett was also a
pop culture figure whose hairstyle was emulated by
millions of young women and whose poster sales broke
records, making her an international sex symbol in the
1970s and 1980s. While her impact was particularly
strong on the teens of the 1970s, her appeal spreads
over multiple generations.
