#FARRAH FAWCETT POSTER MOVIE#

everything was out on the table.LOS ANGELES, Feb. 'I was learning that she was surprising, how she handled her disease because some people don't,' she said. Smith said she was amazed to see how Fawcett faced the disease head on without putting up walls. 'Ever since she got ill, the other 'Charlie's Angels' - all joined her,' he said. In an interview with Barbara Walters shortly before Fawcett died, Ryan O'Neal, her long-time partner, said Fawcett's 'Angels' co-stars were all there for her when she died. 'What's interesting about friendship is that - once somebody is really in your heart, you can go all these different ways, but then - we came back together really strongly at the end of her life,' Smith added.įawcett died in 2009 at the age of 62. 'In my mind what 'Charlie's Angels' was about, was about the bond of the girls, having each other's back,' she said. Smith said that for her, the show was about building lifelong friendships and the strength that stretched beyond the screen among the actresses - particularly when Fawcett was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006. 'But the fact that it was three women, three independent women, and three women who are victorious and strong, was a step in the right direction in the mid-'70s,' he explained. Hackett said that, now, a show about three detectives taking direction from a man over a speakerphone 'looks more that they are kind of servants or concubines for this disembodied voice on the telephone.' 'A show like 'Charlie's Angels' literally had tens of millions of people watching it,' Hackett said. The three leading ladies, Fawcett, Smith and Kate Jackson, showed healthy, strong women who could overpower men - and audiences loved it. Hackett continued, 'And she's pretty and she's young - and she's carefree, and she has a certain independence, and she just matched what the mood was at that time.' 'I guess I didn't either - It was funny.'ĪBC News contributor Larry Hackett added that coming off the heels of Watergate, 'people were looking a little bit to escape and to get a new vision of what America ought to be.' 'I do remember Farrah not wearing a bra,' Smith added.

We had pretty hair and pretty clothes, and pretty cars, and pretty locations.

Noted entertainment editor Bonnie Fuller said 'America was ready to have 'Charlie's Angels' as icons because the country had already been through the start of the women's liberation movement.' 'When we came up with 'Charlie's Angels' in '75, we knew we had found the perfect vehicle for her,' Goldberg said.
