I couldn't bring myself to watch that special. I've never been a huge fan of her's but I grew up with "Charlie's Angel's", "The Bionic Woman" and "The Six Million Dollar Man". It's sad to see anyone die but I find myself sick of all the media throwing these poor people's fight to live in our face's (Patrick Swayze comes to mind too, when I was a teen "Dirty Dancing" was huge!) and wonder if it's ego or what when those like Farrah actually let camera's in on their suffering.
They may very well be dying, who the hell benefit's from seeing it? My uncle died two years ago from cancer. He started out strong but the three rounds of chemo he had weakened him so badly that his body had nothing left to fight/bounce back with. Seeing the robust man I grew up with emaciated and drugged up so much he barely recognized anyone was heart wrenching. Everytime I see Patrick Swayze's face plastered across the front page of the "National Enquirer" while I'm stuck in line at the grocery, it brings it all back. Gahhh, I'm just pissing myself off.
On a lighter note, I forgot how good looking Lee Majors was back then! Na-na-na-na-na-na! (younger TFP peeps probably won't get that).
