Two of the entertainment industry's legendary performers passed away today; Farrah Fawcett finally lost her long battle with cancer, and Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest this afternoon. The sheer improbability of such an unexpected death of a music icon with that of an expected passing of one of Hollywood's most beautiful women of all time on the same day merits a quick tribute to each performer.
The King of Pop collapsed this afternoon in his Beverly Hills home and was pronounced dead on scene by paramedics. He was 50 years old. It seems only appropriate to take a moment to honor the long and incredible career of such a music legend, breaking the mold in 1982 with his album release, Thriller, Jackson was to forever be an icon and legend in the business. Even before his solo career, Jackson was famous for being the baby of The Jackson 5, stealing the hearts of Americans with his charm and charisma. Despite falling from grace later in his life, Michael Jackson has been and will always remain one of the greatest musical performers of all time.
Farrah Fawcett is best known for her role on the 1970s show Charlie's Angels, which was one of my favorite growing up, I even had my hair cut and styled to mimic hers?she was everything I idolized as a little girl. And who could forget the iconic photo of her in a red swimsuit on a blanket? She was the next sex icon to follow Marilyn Monroe. Her battle with cancer started in 2006 and was highly publicized by the media. In May of this year, NBC made a primetime documentary focusing on her battle with cancer called, Farrah's Story that drew over 9 million viewers. She was the epitome of an all-American girl; her luminous smile and waves of golden hair will be sorely missed.
Just so sad that Ryan Oneal didn’t get his dream of marriage before her death. She was so brave all the way till the end. She is the epitome of strength and a very important and admirable roll model for all young women of today.
Michael Jackson was a legend in his own time. The music icon is and always will be remembered by me for his amazing musical talents and not “what scandel is he in today“. Let’s face it, being a child star and living your whole life in the spotlight with never a moments peace would have some sort of negative effect on anyone’s life no matter who you are. His personal life was not what we celebrated, though. It was the GOD given talent that he shared with us throughout his lifetime and gave so unselfishly that we will treasure forever and remember him for.
R.I.P. Micheal Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. You will be forever missed.
Wow, two huge icons gone in one day. So sad.
