Farrah Fawcett, who would have turned 79 on February 2, worked for over five decades until her tragic death in 2009. The model and actress was one of the most beloved pop culture figures in Hollywood, and while she was initially best known for roles like Charlie’s Angels, she developed into an accomplished dramatic actress, nabbing four Emmy nominations and six Golden Globe nods for challenging roles like 1984’s The Burning Bed, 1987’s Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story, and 1989’s Small Sacrifices.
