A private funeral service for actress Farrah Fawcett will be conducted Tuesday afternoon at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles, California, according to her publicist.
The family did not release any details about who would deliver the eulogy or how many people have been invited. Fawcett, the blonde actress whose best-selling poster and “Charlie’s Angels” stardom made her one of the most famous faces in the world, died Thursday. She was 62, and had been battling anal cancer on and off for three years. Fawcett’s beauty — her gleaming smile was printed on millions of posters — initially made her famous. But she later established herself as a serious actress. She starred as a battered wife in the 1984 TV movie “The Burning Bed.” Learn more about Fawcett’s life and career ยป She appeared on stage as a woman who extracts vengeance from a would-be rapist in William Mastrosimone’s play “Extremities,” a performance she reprised on film in 1986.
