70s icon Farrah Fawcett lost her battle with cancer, passing away with friends including her long-term love Ryan O’Neal by her side. She was 62.

This video looks back at Farrah’s career, from her early modeling days to her star turn in Charlie’s Angels and her colorful love life.

In recent years though it was the strength and dignity she showed in the face of cancer that really made an impression. It’s that fighting spirit and her warm, generous nature that will be her lasting legacy.

She will be sorely missed, not just by her family and friends but by the millions of fans she touched during her short 62 years.
