American Icons: Farrah Fawcett

This is my obituary for Farrah Fawcett. I intentionally made it one week late, because Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson both died on the same day, and of course, MJ got most of the attention.

I never knew Farrah Fawcett. Yes, I know Charlie's Angels. But I never watched it. Okay, so she's one of the original Angels. But again, I never watched that show.

Okay, so she also had that classic seventies hair. But I'm not a girl, so I don't care. (Wow, that rhymes.)

In fact, I never knew anything about Farrah Fawcett. But my mom seems to be a fan.

My only memory of Farrah Fawcett is this: One day, when I was like three or four years old, I first heard my mother mention the name "Farrah Fawcett." And all I could think of was a faucet, a literal, plumbing-related faucet, that had two legs and high-heeled shoes. A walking faucet. That's my only memory of her.
