An Icon Lost the Battle

No, not Michael Jackson, although I was surprised by his death, I am referring to Farrah Fawcett. She lost her battle with cancer this morning. I don't think her death was unexpected, but it still made me sad. After watching her cancer special about the trials of her treatment from Bill's hospital room, I gained a new level of respect for her. Not many beautiful celebrities would allow themselves to be so vulnerable and raw on national TV. I am disappointed that the news coverage is only really focusing on Michael. She would have been able to further spread cancer awareness, even after her death, if Michael would have held on a little longer. I feel like she was robbed of the spotlight she deserved. It just hit a little too close to home today.
