Mourners Bid Fawcett Farewell

A small funeral was held Tuesday in downtown Los Angeles for actress Farrah Fawcett, led by her long-time partner and father of her only child, Ryan O’Neal. O’Neal served as one of the Charlie’s Angels star’s pallbearers, and also gave a reading; the couple’s son, Redmond O’Neal, was temporarily released from jail, where he is being held on charges of drug possession, to attend the service and read Bible scripture. Fawcett, famous for an iconic hairstyle that defined a generation and her numerous film and television credits, died Thursday after a long and public battle with both anal and liver cancer.
