Ryan O'Neal says he plans to marry Farrah Fawcett
1 hour ago

NEW YORK (AP) — Ryan O'Neal says he plans to marry Farrah Fawcett, who is struggling to overcome cancer.

The 68-year-old actor says in an interview with Barbara Walters for ABC's "20/20" that he asked his longtime companion to marry him and "she's agreed." O'Neal says they will tie the knot "as soon as she can say yes."

Walters' interview with O'Neal airs Friday.

Fawcett was diagnosed in 2006 with anal cancer that has spread to her liver. The "Charlie's Angels" star and O'Neal have a 24-year-old son, Redmond.

O'Neal says the 62-year-old actress is "fighting for her life," but despite her declining health, they will "absolutely" get married.

I hope Farrah holds on until the show airs on Friday.


Do you suppose they'll skip the "until death do us part" line in the vows ?

[Dude!]

and she doesn't have a will
then ryan will get it all

nice move

Women will do anything to shame a man into marriage.

She's taking this whole 'angel' thing too seriously.

[thepaulo]

Actress Farrah Fawcett, whose layered blonde mane and ubiquitous swimsuit poster transformed the once-unknown "Charlie's Angels" star into a '70s icon, died Thursday.

The Texas-born Fawcett, 62, was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006 and chronicled her valiant fight for survival in a two-hour documentary.

Just days before her death, longtime love Ryan O'Neal said he hoped she would hang on long enough for them to wed.

"I've asked her to marry me, again, and she's agreed," O'Neal, 68, told Barbara Walters in a "20/20" interview.

"As soon as she can say yes," he said. "Maybe we can just nod her head."

The former pinup traveled the world in search for a cure for her disease, allowing cameras to capture her treatment and inner thoughts.

"I know that everyone will die eventually, but I do not want to die of this disease. I want to stay alive," she said.

"So I say to God, because it is, after all, in his hands: It is seriously time for a miracle."

By the time the documentary aired in May, Fawcett was gravely ill, too sick to attend her own premiere. And the miracle she prayed for never came.

Fawcett burst into the national consciousness during the Bicentennial, debuting in September 1976 as one of three gorgeous female investigators on "Charlie's Angels."

Derided as "jiggle TV," the show made Fawcett an instant star - and she bolted after one season for a movie career. Forgettable flicks like "Saturn 3" and "Sunburn" quickly followed.

A determined Fawcett bounced back, returning to television and earning three Emmy nominations for her dramatic work.

She produced and starred in 1984's "The Burning Bed," portraying a domestic violence victim. Her other Emmy nods came for "Small Sacrifices" in 1989 and "The Guardian" in 2001.

She also starred as a vengeful rape victim in the off-Broadway success "Extremities," reprising her role in the screen version. And Fawcett received kudos for her 1997 comeback role in "The Apostle," opposite Robert Duvall.

She was equally known for her bizarre off-screen exploits: An incoherent 1997 appearance with David Letterman, a violent fight with a spurned boyfriend the next year, and her stormy relationship with actor Ryan O'Neal.

Her 60th birthday party ended with O'Neal pulling a gun on his son Griffin.

Fawcett came to Hollywood from Corpus Christi, Texas. Her stunning looks and girl-next-door demeanor landed her a modeling gig within two weeks.

She also landed a husband: actor Lee Majors, "The Six Million Dollar Man." The pair split in 1982, with O'Neal replacing Majors as her on-and-off leading man.

It was her role as Angel Jill Monroe that cast Fawcett as a Hollywood pinup, a '70s version of Rita Hayworth or Marilyn Monroe.

A poster of Fawcett in a one-piece red bathing suit sold 12 million copies - adorning as many teen bedrooms.

The Letterman appearance, more than a decade old, remains a popular clip on YouTube. Fawcett was on the show promoting her second nude Playboy pictorial.

RIP Farrah. I had her picture on my wall from when I was a young teenager up until I was in college. She was always a beauty to me and I am glad shes not suffering anymore and I hope Ryan is dealing with it as best he can, because its obvious he loved her dearly. Godspeed.

.... you funny, evil bastard!

[biozombie]

I saw an electronic billboard that had the classic Farrah poster & said "Fly with the angels" on my way home from work today, which was even weirder because the previous intersection had one with Erik Estrada in his CHiPs uniform urging motorists to wear their seatbelts.
