My Take
Farrah Fawcett is remembered for a poster and a haircut, which badly undersells her. Yes, she defined 1970s glamour from a single season of Charlie's Angels, but the move I respect most is what came after: walking away from the safest job in television to pursue serious dramatic work, earning the Emmy and Golden Globe nominations nobody expected from a pin-up. She spent decades fighting the assumption that beauty and substance are mutually exclusive, and mostly winning. Even her final years, documented with unflinching honesty, showed the same stubborn courage. The icon was real, but the actress underneath was tougher.
