She now belongs to the ages,&#8221; he also confirmed that she received the last rites of the Catholic Church. &#8220;She&#8217;s now with her mother and sister and her God. I loved her with all my heart. I will miss her so very, very much. She was in and out of consciousness. I talked to her all through the night. I told her how very much I loved her. She&#8217;s in a better place now. She was with her team when she passed &#8230; Her eyes were open, but she didn&#8217;t say anything. But you could see in her eyes that she recognized us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Just a few days ago there were reports that Ryan and Fawcett had planned to wed before she died however, in the end, there just wasn&#8217;t time.<\/p>\n<p>Friends and family plan to honor Fawcett with a funeral service at a Catholic cathedral in Los Angeles in the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>A little background on Farrah Fawcett from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.people.com\/people\/package\/article\/0,,20240623_20240288,00.html?xid=email-breakingnews-20090625-20240288\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\" class=\"ext-link\">People Magazine<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In 1973, Fawcett married actor Lee Majors, forever known as Col. Steve Austin on TV&#8217;s The Six Million Dollar Man. Three years later, she appeared in the cult sci-fi film Logan&#8217;s Run and began her stint with costars Jackson and Jaclyn Smith on Charlie&#8217;s Angels. Well-coiffed and scantily clad, the threesome created an instant sensation, with a weekly following of 23 million fans.<\/p><!--CusAds-->\n<p>Farrah Fawcett&#8217;s 1976 poster Photo by: Pie InternationalFarrah Fawcett Dies of Cancer at 62| Farrah Fawcett, Ryan O&#8217;Neal<br \/>\nFawcett moved on after just one season. By then, she was already a phenomenon, having donned a one-piece red bathing suit and a perfect smile for her legendary pin-up poster, which sold a still-record 12 million copies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I became famous almost before I had a craft,&#8221; Fawcett told The New York Times in 1986, four years after her divorce from Majors. (By then, she was already involved with Ryan O&#8217;Neal.) &#8220;I didn&#8217;t study drama at school. I was an art major. Suddenly, when I was doing Charlie&#8217;s Angels, I was getting all this fan mail, and I didn&#8217;t really know why. I don&#8217;t think anybody else did, either.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bumpy Film Career<br \/>\nThough she left TV for what was assumed to be greener pastures \u00e2\u20ac\u201c feature films \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Fawcett&#8217;s initial three big-screen vehicles all crash-landed. Her first, 1978&#8217;s Somebody Killed Her Husband, was lampooned in MAD magazine under the title, Somebody Killed Her Career.<\/p>\n<p>It took some serious dramatic TV roles, including that of a battered wife in 1984&#8217;s The Burning Bed (which earned her an Emmy nomination), as well as starring in small-screen biopics about pioneering photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White and ill-fated Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton, for Fawcett to bounce back.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What would you do if someone said to you, &#8216;You&#8217;re so popular right now that you can be on the cover of every magazine, but if you do that, you might get overexposed and a backlash will develop&#8217;?&#8221; Fawcett told The Times after she had emerged from one of the valleys of her career.<\/p>\n<p>Still, she said of fighting for survival in Hollywood, &#8220;That&#8217;s life. Everything has positive and negative consequences.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<!--CusAds--><p>We&#8217;ll miss you Farrah.<\/p>\n<div class=\"0ef8bfa44cafabceb297ac3097736deb\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\r\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-3375789278566919\";\r\n\/* Celebrity_inpost_300x250 *\/\r\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"1568606040\";\r\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\r\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\r\n\/\/-->\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\r\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\r\n<\/script> <br\/>\r\n<br\/>\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\nch_client = \"dragonden\";\r\nch_width = 550;\r\nch_height = 250;\r\nch_type = \"mpu\";\r\nch_sid = \"celebrityscoop_betweenposts2\";\r\nch_color_site_link = \"#816689\";\r\nch_color_title = \"#816689\";\r\nch_color_border = \"#FFFFFF\";\r\nch_color_text = \"#212121\";\r\nch_color_bg = \"#FFFFFF\";\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script src=\"http:\/\/scripts.chitika.net\/eminimalls\/amm.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br\/>\r\n<br\/>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Farrah Fawcett died early this morning (9:28 am PST) after a three year battle with cancer.
