She starred in the films The Burning Bed and Small Sacrifices in the 1980s. In 1997 she starred in The Apostle withRobert Duvall. She had recurring roles on shows Spin City and The Guardian.

In 1976, Farrah appeared in a poster that would eventually become an iconic image of the 20th century. In the poster Farrah is wearing a skin-tight bathing suit with her blonde hair flowing over her shoulders. It eventually became the best-selling poster of all time, selling more than 6 million prints, and made Farrah famous worldwide. The fame resulting from the poster is what landed Farrah her first major television roles. The bathing suit she wore is now in the Smithsonian Museum.

Farrah Leni Fawcett was born in Corpus Christi, Texas in February 1947 and passed away in June 2009. She was perhaps best known for her role on Charlie's Angels. TV Guide ranked her as the #26 greatest TV star of all-time in 1996. She had recurring roles on TV shows Harry O and The Six Million Dollar Man. She played Jill Munroe in Charlie's Angels from 1976 to 1980.

Farrah earned 40% of all profits generated by the poster. With 6 million prints sold,the poster generated around $12 million in revenue, $2 million in profits. That works out to $800,000 in royalties to Farrah which is the same as $3.6 million after adjusting for inflation.

Farrah Fawcett earned $5,000 per episode of the first season of Charlie's Angels. After the first season, producers increased her salary to $10,000 per episode salary (roughly $44,000 today after adjusting for inflation). Farrah, who by then was earning far more from her poster royalties, was unsatisfied with the salary and left the show. In 1976 when she made $5,000 per episode, over 22 episodes she made $110,000. That's the same as around $490,000 today after adjusting for inflation. In the same year Farrah made $400,000 in royalties from her poster. That's the same as $1.8 million. Still, despite her dissatisfaction with the Charlie's Angels salary, producers held her to a contract that required Farrah to appear in the next two seasons as a frequent guest star.

In 1995 Fawcett was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She won a People's Choice Award in 1977 and two TV Land Awards in 2004.

Farrah Fawcett was an American actress and artist who had a net worth of $25 million at the time of her death in 2009. That net worth estimate includes a low-range valuation of her art collection. That collection featured at least oneAndy Warholportrait which alone was valued at more than $12 million at the time of her death. We say "at least one" in the previous sentence because technically at the time of her death she possessed TWO Warhol portraits of herself. As we detail later in this article, a legal battle ensued after it was discovered that the second portrait was removed by her partnerRyan O'Nealafter her death in 2009 and ended up at his Malibu house.
