Television icon Farrah Fawcett is battling deadly cancer.
Doctors found a malignant tumour in the former Charlies Angels stars
lower intestine and diagnosed her with cancer of the anus and lower
intestine.
Please respect my privacy at this challenging time, Fawcett, 59,
said in a statement Wednesday to Entertainment Tonight.
According to the National Enquirer, Fawcett was diagnosed after her
Aug. 27 appearance on the Emmy Awards, at which she reunited with
former co-stars Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson.
Fawcett now faces more chemotherapy and radiation treatment. The star
was spotted this week working out at a Los Angeles gym with
ex-boyfriend Ryan ONeal, who battled leukemia in 2001.
The actress was a celebrity spokesperson for the American Cancer
Society in the 80s and her older sister died of lung cancer in 1998.
Fawcett, whose blonde feathered waves were "the Rachel" of the '70s,
starred on Charlie's Angels--and many teenage boys' walls--from 1976
to 1980.
She scored an Emmy nomination in 1984 for the acclaimed TV movie The
Burning Bed, in which she played a "battered wife" who sets her
husband on fire in his sleep.
In recent years, Fawcett has appeared on shows like Ally McBeal and
Spin City.
