FarrahFaw_Barry_6141090_600 Farrah Fawcett is in an LA hospital, reportedly unconscious, and has been there for a few days.

Radaronline reports that the '70s TV icon is surrounded by her loved ones, Ryan ONeal and son Redmond, who was reportedly jettisoned from rehab earlier this week for failing a drug test.

Farrah has been battling cancer for three years and recently returned from Germany, where she had experimental stem-cell treatment.

Farrah, 62, was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006 and has fought this disease long and hard. According to People, she was in remission but then the cancer returned.

There's no official confirmation yet from her reps on her condition. Story developing...

We send our sympathy to Farrah and her family and are saying prayers for them all.

Are there any Farrah Fans out there?

At least we'll always have "Charlie's Angels."

prayers for Farrah and her family


My thoughts and prayers are with Farrah and her family at this time. I'm 40 and when the icons of my youth start to get sick like this, it is very sad indeed.

I grew up with "Charlie's Angels" and couldn't wait to watch it every Wednesday night. Farrah - with that great hair and lovely face - was the epitome of beauty. I can even remember that Miss USA 1977 (also from Texas) had a passing resemblance to her. Farrah's image and THAT POSTER were everywhere.

I still watch and enjoy the first season of "Angel's" on DVD and I wish that she had been on for more than one season - even though Cheryl Ladd was a fine replacement.

Farrah's fans are pulling for her through this difficult time. I do hope she can beat this thing again!


Yes, I am a Farrah fan, and I am also a fan of everybody who supports and loves her...It is really hard to see people you love in so much pain, but hopefully that is only my imagination and Farrah and her family are fine. Prayers in private.


I'm from Farrah's hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas, and my family and friends knew the Fawcetts. I didn't know Farrah personally but I'll pray for her. She is an icon that today's stars dim in comparison to.


I grew up watching Farrah and have always been a huge fan. I had her bathing suit photo on my wall growing up and recently bought the t shirt to remind me. I send my best wishes and prayers to her and her family right now. GET WELL SOON!


I met her once many years ago. She was funny and gracious to me the entire visit. She didn't have to be, but was. I will always have a fond spot in my heart for this really great lady.

I will keep her and her family in my prayers.


So sad, that she is only 62 and such an icon. I pray for her recovery. I guess stem cell treatment has a long uphill battle.


Very sad. If she must leave us for heaven, I hope she and her family take comfort in how much we care.


I feel so sad. Such a beautiful icon from my past. Charlie's Angels with Farrah was an unmissable telly watch for me in my (much) younger days. I nursed my sister through the last few weeks of her battle with cancer and feel so sad for her (Farrah's) family going through this fight with her. No matter how famous and public her life has been, to those who love her she is their special angel.


I am a Farrah fan! shes great and keeps getting more glamorous as time goes on. Any good energy i have I am sending her way.
