Farrah Fawcett, who has been battling cancer for nearly three years, has been admitted to a Los Angeles hospital.

The former "Charlie's Angeles" star was hospitalized Thursday, April 2 after returning from Germany, RadarOnline first reported.

The 62-year-old was in Frankfurt to undergo an experimental stem cell therapy treatment. She had her treatment to be filmed for a possible upcoming TV documentary, "A Wing and a Prayer."

Fawcett was diagnosed with anal cancer in September 2006 and began undergoing treatment, including chemotherapy and surgery. Shortly afterward, she announced that she was cancer-free, but in May 2007, a malignant polyp was found.

Prayers for Farrah. For someone who was originally considered "eye candy", she has turned out to be one heck of a good actress.

She'll always be that beautiful woman in the red bathing suit on the 70s poster. I don't know a man who didn't drool over her (including my husband).

I hope she finds peace from pain and fear.

From being green with envy at Farah's blondeness in the late 70's...am now gray-haired with angst at seeing an icon wither in the media. Forever should she remain the poster that we former browned-haired l***ies pursed our lips in jealousy.
