Farrah Fawcett Tribute – You Raise Me Up

By Laura • July 13th, 2009

Born Mary Farrah Leni Fawcett on Feb. 2, 1947, in Corpus Christi, Fawcett was attending the University of Texas in Austin when a movie publicist saw photos of her after she was named one of the 10 most beautiful people on campus, according to an AP story. The publicist suggested she consider a career in Hollywood and she took him up on it. After small parts in a couple of TV shows, she was cast on “Charlie’s Angels.” She remained with the show for just one year, but she became a pop icon in the 1970s. After leaving the show she starred in a few films that were panned by critics, but her starring role in the 1984 TV movie “The Burning Bed” as a wife who is a victim of domestic abuse earned her an Emmy nomination.
