Farrah Fawcett (original) (raw)
Mary Farrah Leni Fawcett (born 2 February 1947) is an actress who became a noted pop culture icon of the 1970s.
Farrah Fawcett-Majors was the best-known star of the television series Charlie's Angels, even though she was only on the cast for one year and a few guest spots. A photo of Farrah in a red swimsuit was one of the most popular pin-up posters of the 1970s, and her layered, feathery-looking hairdo was among the most emulated hairstyles of the decade. She was married to actor Lee Majors from 1973 to 1980.
In 1997 she received some negative attention after giving a less-than-coherent interview on The Late Show with David Letterman.
