Never mind Jacko, an Angel says goodbye

On the day the world woke to hear the news that Michael Jackson had died, another celebrity icon passed on to that film set in the sky, but it seemed like the media world has all but forgotten her.

Yes, Farrah Fawcett (Majors) – the original blonde bombshell of 70s TV hit "Charlie's Angels" – lost her battle with cancer and died in hospital aged 62.

The woman who sent little girls running to their mum's bedrooms looking for any means by which they could get "the flick" into their fringe had been fighting the disease since 2006. But with her long time partner Ryan O'Neal by her bedside she finally succumbed and the woman that played the perky, sexy, yet wholesome, Jill Monroe finally said goodbye.

And to reveal just how iconic those Angels were, we have chosen our favourite "Charlie's Angels" poses from the hundreds posted on Flickr – and as you can see even the boys want to be Angels as well.
