Farrah Fawcett rose to fame with her role in Charlie’s Angels, her iconic feathered hair, and her unforgettable red swimsuit poster. Born on February 2, 1947, in Corpus Christi, Texas, she was considered beautiful from an early age, though it sometimes made her self-conscious.

After studying at the University of Texas, Fawcett moved to Los Angeles to pursue modeling and acting. Early TV roles led to her breakthrough in Charlie’s Angels in 1976, where her stunning looks and charisma captivated audiences. However, after just one season, she left the show, citing creative frustrations, which resulted in a $7 million lawsuit that was later settled.
