Goodbye Farrah
« on: June 28, 2009, 02:19:54 PM »
Well, we lost Farrah on Thursday. While her passing was eclipsed by Jacko's death she herself was an icon and from what I understand was a great lady. It's been so long since I saw a Charlie's Angels episode (like 20 plus years!) so I don't remember what she drove in the show but I watched it BECAUSE of the cars the ladies drove. She went on to the big screen and beyond but she's best remembered for C.A. and her cool hair. She's at peace now and no longer suffering.  Sleep Little Willow...

She drove a white Mustang II Cobra with blue stripes.  Kate Jackson's character had an orange Pinto, and Jaqueline Smith's character drove a beige Mustang II (I think a Ghia - trunk model).

The man who worked for "Charlie" (I forget his name) had a 77 or 78 Thunderbird.  I forget the colour of that one.

Nice cars indeed, all of them.

I'm sorry to see her not getting the respect and recognition for all she did during her lifetime. All because Michael Jackson Passed away on the same day. No disrespect intended towards him at all, but she deserves some attention as well.

Rest In Peace Farrah.

>>>The man who worked for "Charlie" (I forget his name)<<<

"Bosley" -  played by David Doyle. I don't know that his character was ever identified with a first name.

The lovely Farrah will always be near and dear to my heart.  When I was a teenager I had that famous red bathing suit poster on the closet door in my bedroom.  To my recollection, that's the only poster I EVER had in my room!  It's a shame that her passing was overshadowed by Michael Jackson's - they were both extraordinary personalities and, if either of them had passed on a different day, she would have received the recognition she deserved.  Rest in peace, Angel :angel:

Dwayne, I too had the famous "Farrah" poster (what red-blooded American male didn't) and to this day my wife has long, blond hair with wings. I tell her she has Farrah hair.
Rest Angel, rest  :'(

I hear you CB. It's pedophile, not petafile. I never did like the guy and I was always suspicious about the times with the kids that weren't his. Of course I can't forgive him for the Beatles catalog either.  :cheesy_p:

Atleast it will be going back to Paul McCartney. Apparently it was willed to him, or so I heard.

Seriously? I hear rumors, but I haven't unburied the truth. I hope you're right. Jacko held the catalog hostage too long.

Sorry. I started this in Farrah's honor but I had to vent. We lost a true angel but a dark specter took the stage over. I love reading the memories of our great group.  :angel:

And is this the reason I wasn't introduced to your better half when I was at your house ??? ;) :lol:   You're right... I read somewhere that approximately twelve million copies of that poster were sold!

Wittsend,
No kidding about Kate Jackson's cosmetic surgery. Yikes.  Looks like she used the same surgeon as Joan Rivers.
