Fawcett passed away from cancer after a long fight on June 25th at age 62.

As it turned out, her toughest role of all was her final one: She shared every brutal step of her cancer treatment with the world in the NBC documentary Farrah’s Story. It showed many of the steps involved in treating invasive cancer, like her trademark hair falling out.

Recently long-time companion Ryan O’Neal finally asked her to marry him after 25 years on and off together. She passed away before the ceremony could happen.
