She has not aged well at all! Tried watching her latest interview on David Letterman the other night (we record his show). We couldn't even watch the second part, after a commercial break.
When I think of former, big TV/Movie stars in Farrah's age bracket, who have aged beautifully (Jaclyn Smith, Goldie Hawn, Christie Brinkley, Bo Derek, Susan Sarandon, others whose names escape me right now) I am JUST SHOCKED at how dingy, spacey FC has become. Was she always like this and I just didn't know it? LOL Our youngest daughter was trying to watch this Letterman interview and finally asked to watch something else. She couldn't stomach it. We kept fixating on her face - she must have had facial plastic surgery done and it didn't go well. Hate to sound so harsh here, but I was trying to explain to my daughter Laura how at one time FC was as popular as say Jennifer Aniston is. Farrah probably even more so, that one poster pic is still available at Spencer's I think. For sale!
Well, I'm just sad for her. We heard she's on medication as well.
Feedback, shock, don't care - that's okay too. I would just like to understand what has happened to this actress. Don't know why, but I'd be interested to hear her story.

What the heck has happened to Farrah Fawcett?

Eric - she was promoting this new show on Letterman. Explaining the press follows her around anyway, why not just let them do it on air. He asked if they follow her around 24 hours a day. She said no, she got to sleep about 3 hours. Hey maybe that explains her whacky mannerisms, comments, facial expressions: she is just sleep deprived!!!

PS - edit, here's a link for her biography. The summary states that in 1997 she was interviewed on Letterman's show. Drug abuse is to possibly blame for her incoherent responses.

Goldie, really? Maybe the pics I see of her have her hair covering up what you saw. I'm amazed she has kept her long hair all these years. I just always thought she aged well.
Jaclyn Smith was my favorite angel too Shawn. I always thought she was just beautiful, inside and outside. She just comes across as a really, sweet, graceful lady. Lady is the key word here. She truly is one.

Farrah bought a house in Ormond Beach ,FL on the Intercoastal Waterway several years ago...The News Journal did an article on her at the time and reported that she was an alcoholic...several people I know would see her around and about and said she looked absolutely worn out and awful... ( described as ridden hard and put away wet)...long years of alcohol abuse will do that! I always thought that was so sad...she was such the poster girl!

Mary I agree. When I was a teenager back during the Ice Age when Charlies Angels ran she was by far my favorite Angel. I believe she is as much of a lady off screen as she was on screen.

You just notice it with movie stars...
I think that there is a whole complex of issues that determine how someone (male or female) ages. These include genetic inheritance, nutrition, health, etc. etc. etc. And intelligence has something to do with it because somehow people's mental states, activities change how we see them, etc.
You notice it more when you get a still shot of a morie star (i.e., the Goldie Hawn photo). If you made a still from an appearance on TV or in a movie, I still think you'd see the "unflattering" features, wrinkles, etc. seen in the photo posted. But the point is that you don't notice this with Goldie Hawn because her face is always in motion--and you are often laughing too hard or paying too much attention to what she is saying to study her face looking for wrinkles.
I first noticed this when I was in my early 20s and found a photo of a very popular girl from my teens. That girl was always everyone's favorite person. Not only did the boys think she was wonderful, but she was very popular with the girls as well. She was funny, smart, always at the center of everything--but she was also kind and not cliquish or snobbish. When I was 15, I thought she was gorgeous and envied her a little--and also copied what I could... She had shiny, shiny, chestnut hair and dressed well... So, yeah, I used the same brand of shampoo...
In the photo, taken at the height of her popularity, she is laughing and gesturing and is at the center of a group of friends--but she actually was a totally plain--almost ugly girl! No one would ever think her "pretty" from a still photo. But I somehow suspect that she aged well. Her eyes were not beautiful in a photo, but they were always expressive and wonderful--often dancing humor, sometimes sad, or just wise. But it was the force of personality--and I'm sure that did not change as she grew older--and she probably is out there somewhere surrounded by family and thousands of friends and people who were just happy to meet her. So who cares if she has a zillion wrinkles! With her they would be laugh lines anyway.
Perhaps the tragedy of the really pretty girl in our society is that they don't have to be careful of their personalities, they don' t have to exercise their brains, they get away with not being very nice people. And their identity is all caught up in their looks and their ability to manipulate others. And in a culture that values youth, they know that they are already losing something by the time they are 30...
There is an equivalent for men. There are men whose last great triumph in life was the winning touchtown in high school football--and those guys have a downhill slide from there because, again, they did not do the character development they needed to to develop the self-discipline, the sense of hard work, the compassion, the thoughtfulness, the intellectual capabilities, etc. that would have allowed them to age gracefully.
So for those of you who are still young, forget the looks and concentrate on developing the good character and intelligence, etc. that you have so that you can grow old in such a way that people don't even give your looks a second thought, but instead are glad that they got to know you.
