Her Personal Side 

Farrah's carrer in Charlie's Angels made her more famous then ever. But It took a toll on her private life.

In 1972 Farrah met Lee Majors who was also an actor at the time, a year later the 2 married. She starred in a couple of movies here and there, it was the role in Charlie's Angels that made her famous.

The show became the most popular show on television but due to the long hours of work that she was putting in it took a toll on her marriage. Farrah and Lee began to drift apart, after just one year playing a detective on Charlie's Angels she left the show.

Farrahs Battle Begins 

Farrah was diagnosed with cancer in September 2006

Farrah was diagnosed with cancer in September 2006. At first she didn't want to come public with it because of all the media. She took treatments and the Dr's told her she was cancer free.

When she went back in May 2007 for another scan to make sure the tumors were still gone she got the bad news. The cancer was back and had spread to her liver. She took her camera along thinking their was going to be good news, from there she started her story.

She wants to let the world know about this aggressive disease. The doctors told her their was nothing else they could do for her but she did not give up . She did excessive research on Anal cancer and decided to go to Germany and take experimental treatments they offer there.

It helped for awhile and the cancer was back in remission for a few months. She was able to return back to her life for a brief period. And now the cancer has returned and she is fighting for her life, all she wants is to live.
