1 Year ago today, Michael Jackson died. But so did Farrah Fawcett — only hours before and on the same day. However, with Michael Jackson being the big news of the day, unfortunately Farrah Fawcett quickly became a forgotten story.
“It was such an odd coincidence that she and Michael Jackson should die just within hours of each other,” Farrah’s closest friend, Alana Stewart, said. “It’s just amazing that something like that could happen.” But Farrah might have “gotten a smile about the attention being off her,” Stewart said. “I always had the sense that Farrah would kind of be getting a laugh out of that and saying ‘Thank God, they’re over there, finally. They’re leaving me alone. The paparazzi, the reporters, the news cameras.'”
So we will not forget Farrah Fawcett today. On the 1 year anniversary of her death, we celebrate her life. May she rest in peace.
