DAYS: One of Farrah Fawcett's earliest acting appearances

[JAS0N47]

Farrah Fawcett, who passed away on June 25, 2009 at the age of 62, was well-known for her role on "Charlie's Angels." One of her earliest roles, however, was on "Days of Our Lives." In September 1970, just a year after getting into acting, Fawcett made a one-time appearance on "Days" as Diana. Bill Hayes (Doug Williams) discussed Fawcett's appearance on "Days" in his autobiography, "Like Sands Through the Hourglass": "Doug flirted with every female he met...To me his most memorable conquest at Sergio's [a Salem club] was a gorgeous nineteen-year-old with natural blond hair that cascaded over her neck and shoulders. The blonde came on to Doug, introduced herself as Diana, Goddess of the Chase, and looked at him expectantly. At the piano, Bill Horton [Edward Mallory] was left with his mouth open as Diana and Doug glided out into that hot September night with only one purpose in mind. The actress was Farrah Fawcett, and in just five lines, her charisma and innocent sexuality had jingled every guy in the studio." Fawcett is survived by a son, Redmond, and her long-time companion, actor Ryan O'Neal.
