Pictures of Farrah Fawcett Over the Years

Known for her roles in Charlie’s AngelsThe Burning Bed, and much more, Farrah Fawcett died June 25, 2009, after a courageous and very public three-year battle with cancer.

Fawcett came a long way from her Corpus Christi, Texas roots. She started out acting in commercials (she was best-known as the Wella Balsam girl). From there, her popularity soared after she was named to the cast of Charlie’s Angels and the poster of her in a red bathing suit hit newsstands. The poster sold a record number of copies—over 12 million.

Before there was “The Rachel,” there was “The Farrah.” Fawcett’s winged hair became a phenomenon that inspired copycats throughout the 1970s and ’80s. Fawcett was famous for her role as Jill Munroe in the TV series Charlie’s Angels. But her tenure with the show lasted only a year.

Farrah Fawcett refused to pose nude throughout the 1970s and 1980s, so she caused a major stir when she appeared in the buff in the December 1995 issue of Playboy. The issue went on to become a bestseller of the 1990s, with more than four million copies sold worldwide.

When she was 50, Fawcett posed for the July 1997 Playboy. It also became a bestseller.
