As for the statement, "Ms. Fawcett was not a movie actress -- she was a TV show actress", and the rest that she "was nothing of the caliber...associated with those names as Meryl and Sandra." This is one cruel and uneducated statement. It is also an opinion which one should not even make with the issue of the Memorium. There were people given tribute to; such as, directors, writers, and such, and these people were, by many watching, never heard of. They were honored for being part of, and contributing to with their work in the motion picture film industry; i.e., 'The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science'. I wonder what writer named in this memorial had the "caliber that associated with those names of Meryl and Sandra".
Let me help with Farrah's contributions with her work in the Theatrical, Movie Motion Pictures, alone:
She has acted in 18 'Movie Motion Picture Films'. Some of these 18 'Major Movie Films' she was in were released by: 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Columbia, Artisan Entertainment, Associated Film Dist., and United Artists. She has been nominated for: Six Golden Globe Awards - including a nomination for 'Best Performance by an Actress' in a 'Motion Picture Drama Movie'. She has been nominated four times for 'Emmy Awards'. She was nominated for her role in the motion picture, 'The Apostle', starring with Robert Duvall, who chose her to work with her on this movie, and received the nomination for 'Best Actress' by the 'American Spirit Award' Association; for which she received critical acclaim. She starred in the major motion picture film, 'Mr. T. and His Women', playing opposite Richard Gere. Now, this is just her credits for motion picture films, and again, 18 she has starred in. (Of course, we know she was a "T.V. Actress"; who was in a high grossing series of 'Charlies Angels', starred in 'Made for TV' films, T.V. Miniseries, but also in Broadway Theatrical Shows. She received critical acclaim in 1983 for her 'Off-Broadway' version of 'Extremities'; and, she also received high and admiring feedback from critics for her acting in the 'Made For T.V.' Movie, 'Extremities'. Eighteen Motion Picture Films - is that not enough to warrant she is a 'Movie Actress''? (Even though her Broadway acting and Television acting has nothing to do with the AMPAS, but all in all - she is a 'Well-Versed' actress in a variety of areas. How many actors can state they have worked in all three fields and given credit and nominated?
Regarding the comment about Ryan O'Neill. Do you really know this man to think he would be so 'greedy'? He is in mourning right now, lost a loved one; but, also the mother of one of his children? They had a son together, Redmond. How cruel of you to make such a comment about Ryan O'Neill.
Farrah also has had women and men adhere to her story of suffering with Cancer. She has been a focal point for people to give them insight and even hope with this disease. How dare anyone shun such a woman who has worked so hard in her life, and pass her off as just being a 'T.V. Actress'. A 'T.V. Actress is nothing to 'balk' about either. A life of an actor is not such fame and glory. Stop this insanity with your comments, and talk about "negative territory"... "Geez..."
