Farrah Fawcett is at death's door, but still filming documentary: Farrah's Journey
Revealing for the first time how the anal cancer long ago spread to other parts of Fawcett's body, including her liver, O'Neal says, "She stays in bed now. The doctors see that she is comfortable. Farrah is on IVs, but some of that is for nourishment. The treatment has pretty much ended."

Fawcett, 62, herself tells of her journey through illness in Farrah's Story a two-hour NBC documentary the onetime Charlie's Angels icon shot with pal Alana Stewart that airs Friday, May 15.

Farrah's Story details Fawcett's trips overseas for medical treatment not readily available in the U.S. "They really didn't know what to do in the States," says O'Neal. All in all over a period of two years, the ailing actress visited Germany six times and was under the supervising care of Dr. Ursula Jacob of the Alpenpark Clinic. "We had great promise," continues O'Neal. "There were times when there seemed to be positive results. Farrah was even playing tennis."

2. An entire generation of us oldsters have very fond memories of Farrah. And those who dismissed her
as a dumb blonde have obviously missed the fine, dramatic performances she turned in after her "angel" days.

8. I loved her in "Small Sacrifices"
Farrah used to be the LAST person I would ever think of being cast as a child killer but she was really creepy and amazing in that role. It was quite an eye-opener.

3. Farrah had hair that millions of girls wanted..
She was an icon of the 70's. What more can we ask than to be remembered?
