Music X

6 million posters in one year - at $3 a piece. She was married to The Six Million Dollar Man. She was the most famous woman in America. And when she died, nobody noticed - because Michael Jackson died the same day. Farrah Fawcett. Charlie’s Angel. Playboy cover at nearly 50. And one Letterman interview the country still can’t explain. It was 1997, and it was her first time ever on The Late Show. The audience was screaming before she even sat down. Letterman asked the simple question - why had she never come on before? “I have an idea,” she said. She never explained what it was. From that moment, nothing went the way anyone expected. She was asked: what’s it like when people see you on the street? “New York loves me.” They yell “Yo, looking good!” One St. Patrick’s Day a drunk crowd chased her down the block. Then came the Central Park story. Fans everywhere. No way out. So she found a stone wall - “somewhere between medium and high” - and climbed it. Not a stunt double. Not a movie scene. Farrah Fawcett, scaling a wall in Central Park to escape her own fans. She landed near the zoo. Letterman looked lost. She kept going. He asked about her 50th birthday. Instead she explained that her birthday, her mother’s and her son’s were all a few days apart - and what that meant about when each of them was conceived. Silence. Then laughter. And then came the moment the whole clip is famous for. Since college she wanted to make art with her body. Not paint on it. Paint with it. “You’re talking about your a*s, right?” “It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done.” The audience lost it. She kept the painting. “It’s very expressive. It’s round. It has movement.” For years people have argued about that night - was she nervous, exhausted, or on something? She always denied it, and she never stopped being Farrah. Twelve years later she was gone, after a long and very public fight with cancer. She died on June 25, 2009 - and a few hours later, so did Michael Jackson. The world turned its cameras away, and the most famous poster girl in history left almost without a headline. Icon or out of it?
