It’s two days after the Academy Awards and fans of Farrah Fawcett are voicing their anger. The beef? They’re miffed that the Charlie’s Angels star wasn’t included in the memorial of stars and industry folk who died in the past year.
The Academy’s official word is that Fawcett was more of a TV star than movie actress, but Michael Jackson made the cut Sunday night - and he was primarily known for his music. However we all remember him in The Wiz.
As long as we’re keeping score, Beatrice Arthur and Gene Barry were also absent from the memorial. Both stars did make a minimal amount of movies. For one: Arthur played Vera Charles in the forgettable version of Mame, co-starring opposite Lucille Ball - and Barry’s most notable flick was the 1953 version of War of the Worlds.
Fawcett starred in a few exceptional films like Extremities (1986) The Apostle (1997) and Dr. T and the Women (2000).
