{TV Legend, Fashion Icon and Music Legend}

We lost 3 amazing people this week in the Entertainment world

Ed McMahon
June 23rd
Was ill with Cancer and other mulitple health issues *His single most significant and enduring achievement will remain his introductory Tonight Show catchphrase, "Heeeeere's Johnny!"
*Star Search host that I watched religously every Sunday

*Clearing House sweepstakes spokesman


Farrah Fawcett
June 25
Died of Cancer*Her swimsuit poster launched a thousand male fantasies.

*Her feathered locks made curling irons de rigueur for women and kick-started the most pervasive hair trend of the '70s.

*She was an "Angel" for the hit 1970's tv show Charlie's Angels

Age 50

This will be a long dragged out event trying to figure out what he died from. First reports were a heart attack, now it is going to perscription medication overdose.

* Started out with the Jackson 5 in the 70's

*Moonwalk and white glove

*Music video "Thriller" lasted 14 minutes

*Hair caught on fire

* Many plastic surgeries until he looked like a freak

*Charged with child molesting

He was an amazing performer. Towards the end of his life he seemed very sad and lost. I'm sure he is in a happier place now.
