Enter the Farrah Fawcett Gallery for many rare photos of the “athletic” Angel. [1]
A Corpus Christi girl at heart, Farrah left her home town to attend The University of Texas, and began her major in Biology (later changed to Art). [2]
A trained cop, she eventually left the team to pursue a career as a champion racing car driver, although she would return to help the other Angels out occasionally. [1]
Farrah shocked the world when she left the hit series after only one year to pursue her film career. [2]
Shortly after, Majors starred in his series “The Six Million Dollar Man” (1974) and Farrah guest-starred in four episodes. [3]
Diagnosed with anal cancer in September 2006, the actress, who starred as Jill Munroe in the ’70s hit Charlie’s Angels, had been declared cancer free by her doctors on Feb. 2, her 60th birthday, after having undergone chemotherapy and radiation. [4]

Farrah settled the court suit by appearing on Charlie’s Angels for six episodes during the next two years. [2]
She appeared occasionally on Majors’ Six Million Dollar Man, but Fawcett was still an unknown when she was cast as Jill Munroe on Charlie’s Angels, in 1976. [6]
She was keen to capitalize on her success and explore a film career, but her decision was made so suddenly that even series producer Leonard Goldberg apparently had no idea until he saw it mentioned on the evening news. [1]
Fawcett, the younger of two daughters, was born in Corpus Christi, the seat of Nueces County on the Texas Gulf Coast. [...] Fawcett achieved critical praise and the first of three Emmy Award nominations as a serious actress for her role as a battered wife in the 1984 television movie The Burning Bed. [5]
In 1970, she won her first major role in the film adaptation of the Gore Vidal novel Myra Breckinridge (1970). [3]
Soon after, Farrah was graced with her son, Readmond, by long time lover, Ryan O’Neal. [2]
After the poster was released, producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg starred her in the Crime/Drama Megahit show “Charlie’s Angels” (1976). [3]
