It&#039;s hard to think about Farrah and not think about her one-season tenure on CHARLIE&#039;S ANGELS, which propelled her to superstardom in the late 1970s. Even though I do hold a fondness for that series itself, Farrah compiled an impressive filmography in her career that might not always get the appreciation it deserves. While the film itself was not high art, I did enjoy her in THE CANNONBALL RUN (1981), the all-star farce about people disguising themselves to travel cross-country and win a car race. Farrah was one of a host of beauties that wanted to try her hand at more demanding roles to diversify and stay relevant. As a result, her work in THE BURNING BED (1984) and SMALL SACRIFICES (1989) drew her critical acclaim on the small screen. Her big screen turn in EXTREMITIES (1986), as a woman who turns the tables on her attacker, was also well-reviewed.&nbsp;&nbsp; 

Farrah is an actress that does not get the recognition she deserves. She was beautiful and perhaps the most famous woman of the 1970s, but she was quite an actress when given the right material. CHARLIE&#039;S ANGELS made her a phenomenon (people went crazy over &quot;the Farrah&quot; hairdo), but her desire to mature in her craft brought out some really strong television movies in the 1980s and 1990s. At different times, she played German Holocaust activist Beate Klarsfeld, socialite and heiress Barbara Hutton, and photographer Margaret Bourke-White. She also appeared in various other television shows and feature films. 

Her battle with cancer was detailed in the special called FARRAH&#039;S STORY in 2009, which aired on NBC just a month before she passed. She died on June 25, 2009 (the same day as Michael Jackson) at the age of sixty-two.
