Sure, she had laugh lines around her green eyes and tiny creases that appeared with her famous smile, but her legs were always long and slender, her waist was girlishly slim, her abdomen flat, and that wild mane of blonde hair looked as thick and lustrous as it did in 1976 when she first burst onto the scene as the sexiest of Charlie's Angels. Farrah Fawcett passed away in 2009, looking as young and beautiful as ever. Touted then and now as one of the most beautiful women in the world, Farrah Fawcett, the mother of Redmond O'Neal, always preferred to see herself as a serious actress and an intelligent woman. In 1990, Longevity magazine asked her about her youthful appearance. "I don't remember being particularly comfortable looking in the mirror during college, and maybe not ever," said the woman whose 1976 wet bathing suit poster sold 12 million copies. "Why," she mused with a touch of regret, "didn't I appreciate my looks then when I didn't have lines or fat?" Then she giggled and added, "But the one thing I'm more comfortable about now is, it doesn't matter as much."
