The Woman with The Hair Dies

Farrah Fawcett, 62, a 1970s sex symbol and TV star of “Charlie’s Angels”, died yesterday in Santa Monica, after being diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006.

Her first name is synonymous with a hairstyle that’s still being reinvented and emulated in salons and bathrooms across the world.

In 1976, a poster of her with full, layered hairstyle became all the rage, with girls and women across America mimicking the look.

Farrah was the hair of the 1970s. Among many other things, she will be remembered as bringing us the most iconic of hairstyles, which influenced a generation of women.

As Los Angeles Times wrote: “…she single-handedly established the blow-dryer and curling-iron industries…”

But Farrah Fawcett was much much more than just a beautiful head of hair.

Rest in peace Farrah!
