Farah Fawcett's Video Diary
Farah Fawcett's personal video diary documents her battle with cancer in a self-written obituary called "Farrah's Story." The video will be viewed on national broadcast this Friday on NBC.
In it's semi-private premiere on Wednesday, the 90-minute film documents the actress' life after she was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006, to the heavy medical treatments that followed, up her being bedridden in the recent weeks and bare recognition of her son.
Parts of the documentary shows the ailing actress as she shaves her famous, long blond hair which has been copied by millions of women around the world in the 1970s, following her popularity on the hit TV show "Charlie's Angels."
Even as the cancer spreads to Farah Fawcett's liver and is now reaching its end, friends of the 62-year old actress says the star hasn't given up trying to overcome her disease.
"In the last two years I loved her more than I've ever loved her, ever. She's the rock. She taught us all how to cope. She is extraordinary. I don't know what I will do without her," husband Ryan O'Neal says in his television interview last Wednesday.
Farah Fawcett has not seen the finished video diary and is unaware of its publicity. "On Friday, we will watch it together," Ryan O'Neal tells the reporters.

Fawcett's story is very sad. It shows the ups and downs cancer patients face, thinking they're cured or in remission only to have it come back again.
