Actress and eternal '70s sex symbol Farrah Fawcett died this morning at the age of 62 after a lengthy about with cancer. I wasn't going to post this sad news -- I'm sure you've heard it elsewhere by sites with less
Transformers-based profanity -- until many readers chimed in with Ms. Fawcett's often overlooked career in nerdery, and I'm not referring to
Charlie's Angels. She starred in both the little-known sci-fi show
Saturn 3 (seen on right) as well as the
Logan's Run TV series, as well as a few episodes of
The Six Million Dollar Man (she actually was married to the Six Million Dollar Man, Lee Majors, for a little while. Also, she was so damn popular in the '70s that Mego made
a doll of her -- not her
Charlie's Angels character or anything, just
her. This isn't the stuff that will make into other
articles and memorials. But I'm happy to help others remember a part of her legacy that others will forget.
