; originally spelled
Ferrah
; February 2, 1947 – June 25, 2009) was an American actress of stage and screen, model, and artist. A five-time
Emmy Award
nominee and six-time
Golden Globe Award
nominee, Fawcett rose to international fame when she starred as private investigator
Jill Munroe
in the first season of the television series
Charlie's Angels
(1976–1977).
Fawcett began her career in the 1960s appearing in commercials and guest roles on television. During the 1970s, she appeared in numerous television series, including recurring roles on
Harry O
(1974–1976), and
The Six Million Dollar Man
(1974–1978) with her first husband, film and television star
Lee Majors
. Her breakthrough role came in 1976 when she was cast as Jill Munroe in
Charlie's Angels
, alongside
Kate Jackson
and
Jaclyn Smith
. The show propelled all three to stardom, but especially Fawcett, who was then billed as "Farrah Fawcett-Majors". After appearing only in the first season, she decided to leave the show, but returned as a guest star in six episodes during the show's third and fourth seasons (1978–1980). For her role in
Charlie's Angels
, she received her first Golden Globe nomination.
In 1983, Fawcett received positive reviews for her performance in the
Off-Broadway
play
Extremities
. She was subsequently cast in the 1986 film version and received a Golden Globe nomination. She received two Emmy Award nominations for her roles in TV movies, as a battered wife in the 1984 film
The Burning Bed
and as real-life murderer
Diane Downs
in the 1989 film
Small Sacrifices
. Her 1980s work in TV movies also earned her four additional Golden Globe nominations.
In 1997, she gained some negative press for a rambling appearance on
The Late Show with David Letterman
, but also garnered strong reviews for her role in the film
The Apostle
with
Robert Duvall
. She continued in numerous TV series, including recurring roles in the sitcom
Spin City
(2001) and the drama
The Guardian
(2002–2003). For the latter, she received her third Emmy nomination. Her film roles include
Love Is a Funny Thing
(1969),
Myra Breckinridge
(1970),
Logan's Run
(1976),
Sunburn
(1979),
Saturn 3
(1980),
The Cannonball Run
(1981),
Extremities
(1986),
The Apostle
(1997), and
Dr. T & the Women
(2000).
Fawcett was diagnosed with
anal cancer
in 2006, and she died three years later at age 62. The 2009
NBC
documentary
Farrah's Story
chronicled her battle with the disease. She posthumously earned her fourth Emmy nomination for her work as a producer on the documentary.
