Fawcett in cancer video diary
Updated on 13 May 2009
Farrah Fawcett has laid bare her battle with cancer in a video diary to be screened in the US later this week.
The Texas-born cover-girl, who was a 1970s sex symbol and watched by millions around the world in the hit Aaron Spelling TV series Charlie's Angels, is now bed-ridden and has lost the flowing blonde locks she was famous for.
In Farrah's Story, which was not intended to be made into a TV programme when filmed, Fawcett says the lack of privacy has complicated cancer battle.
The 62-year-old terminally-ill star says that battling cancer is not pleasant but doing so under a microscope made it even more difficult.
The programme documents her battle against the disease, taking video of her visits to doctors in the US and Germany and providing poignant moments of her and her family's lives.
Fawcett was diagnosed with cancer in September 2006 but four months later, declared herself cancer free. The disease returned in May 2007.
