QUICK TAKES - May 6, 2009
NBC News next week will air a two-hour special on Farrah Fawcett’s battle with cancer.
“Farrah’s Story” is described as an extremely personal look at how the former “Charlie’s Angels” star is coping and being treated. Fawcett has anal cancer that has spread to her liver, and she suffered complications from an unrelated procedure performed in Germany.
Her friend Alana Stewart shot most of the footage with a home video camera. Ryan O’Neal and former “Charlie’s Angels” costars Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson appear. It follows the 62-year-old actress through treatments in the United States and Germany.
NBC paid a licensing fee for the footage, but isn’t saying how much. The program will air May 15 at 9 p.m.
