Mary Farrah Leni Fawcett (born February 2, 1947 in Corpus Christi, Texas) is an actress who became a noted pop culture icon and leading sex symbol of the 1970s. Fawcett was the best-known star of the television series Charlie's Angels, even though she was only a part of the cast for one year and a few guest spots. A photo of Farrah in a red swimsuit was the most popular pin-up poster of the 1970s, and her layered, feathery-looking hairdo was among the most emulated hairstyles of the decade. She was married to actor Lee Majors from 1973 to 1982, though the two separated in 1979. |
