Farrah Fawcett is taking her struggle with cancer public: NBC is set to air the actress’ chronicle of her battle with anal cancer—most of which was shot on her own video camera—on May 15. The two-hour documentary, called Farrah’s Story, features Fawcett recounting her treatments in the U.S. and Germany in video diary format. “This film is very personal,” she says. “At the time, I didn’t know if anybody would ever see it.
