A Fallen Angel

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the three original Charlie’s Angels give an emotional—and kilometric—tribute to the late super TV producer Aaron Spelling during last night’s Emmy Awards. I remember watching the series as a child, even though I never really understood back then what the show was all about in the first place.

Jaclyn Smith is still damn gorgeous, and Kate Jackson has aged rather gracefully. I only wish the same could be said of the supposed bombshell of the series, Farrah Fawcett. She looked rather old, and practically had little or none of the appeal that made her the inspiration for many a man’s wildest fantasies in the 70’s.

I guess a trip to the friendly neighborhood cosmetic surgeon is in order for the ex-Angel.
