LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Farrah Fawcett, the "Charlie's Angels" star whose feathered blond hair and dazzling smile made her one of the biggest sex symbols of the 1970s, died Thursday after battling cancer. She was 62.

The pop icon, who in the 1980s set aside the fantasy girl image to tackle serious roles, died shortly before 9:30 a.m. in a Santa Monica hospital, spokesman Paul Bloch said.

Ryan O'Neal, the longtime companion who had reunited with Fawcett as she fought anal cancer, was at her side, along with close friend Alana Stewart, Bloch said.

"After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away," O'Neal said.

I am just stunned. I didnt think she was that bad off. Bless her and her family.

Certainly a bad week for TV legends, first losing Ed McMahon, and now Farrah. RIP Farrah.

I am a woman and I love football.

Sorry for taking this a selfish angle here, but what scared me about her death was a reality hit that we're getting older and quite mortal. Of course I had a thing for her when I was little, along with Deborah Harry. So that's why her death hit me.

She used to hang out at Lake Conroe which is north of Houston, and the people who knew her said she was very down to earth and a cool person. I never ran into her because I only went there once or twice.

RIP Farrah.

She died of rectal/anal cancer. Such a bizarre diagnosis, particularly for a woman. I can't imagine being forced to watch a loved one waste away with a hideous condition like that.

I watched her documentary on TV, they followed her around going for treatments for cancer in Germany and the US. Some of it was pretty graphic, but she wanted the cameras still to roll to capture everything that she was going through, I commend her for that. She wanted people to see what dealing with cancer was all about and give hope to others that were dealing with this horrible disease. She was a great actress and will be missed. Prayers go out to her family and friends. I guess Ryan O'Neil didnt get the chance to marry her after all that was sad.

Call me weird but all my posters were Metal. Didn't have one babe poster, although I did have Playboy and Penthouse centerfolds up in my room when I was a kid (my parents were very liberal when it came to nudity).

So since Fawcett wasn't in Playboy until the mid-90s if I remember correctly, didn't have one poster of her.

Locklear though never did it for me. Nothing against her, just not my type.
