I've got very fond memories of Charlie's Angels from when I was a kid, and remember having a particular crush on Cheryl Ladd ! :luv: I think everyone had their favourite at school !
Anyway, just seen a 10 minute episode on Star-TV - looks like they've compressed a full 45/60min episode into just 10 mins. The first half was the build up & plot points, obviously heavily edited, followed by a complete 5 mins of the show's climax. It was actually quite good fun, in a nostalgic kind of a way, but it sure does look completely rubbish now ! I seem to remember that when I was 12 it was quite exciting, but nowadays the acting & dialogue is so simplistic & unrealistic it just looks like one big ott campy joke ! Anyone else seen these mini-episodes ?
I remember hearing that Farrah Fawcett was ill, some time back, and came across the details whilst googling. Seems like she's got anal cancer, of all things :( sounds pretty horrendous. All credit to her for speaking out about the disease.
Farrah Fawcett’s Hospitalization and Promoting Anal Cancer Awareness
According to various press reports, Farrah Fawcett, the former "Charlie's Angels" star, has been hospitalized for complications related to her ongoing treatment for anal cancer. Her public battle with anal cancer and commensurate media coverage of the actress provide an opportunity to educate the public about this relatively rare cancer. Because of its anatomical location and its risk factors, many people are uncomfortable talking about anal cancer.
Farrah Fawcett has been fighting anal cancer since 2006 and the cancer has apparently spread to her liver. However, contrary to initial news reports, she is not terminally ill at this time and is expected to be discharged in a few days.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) estimates that there were 5,070 new cases of anal cancer in the United States in 2008 with 680 deaths. According to the NCI, the main risk factors for developing anal cancer are:
Being over 50 years old.
Being infected with human papillomavirus (HPV).
Having many sexual partners.
Having receptive anal intercourse (anal sex).
Frequent anal redness, swelling, and soreness.
Having anal fistulas (abnormal openings).
Smoking cigarettes.
