One thing Farrah Fawcett would have appreciated during the
course of her very public, 2 1/2-year-battle with cancer: privacy.
But that is the one thing she never received.
"It's much easier to go through something and deal with
it without being under a microscope," says the terminally ill star,
62. "It was stressful. I was terrified of getting the chemo. It's
not pleasant. And the radiation is not pleasant."
Speaking to a reporter for the first time since she was
diagnosed with anal cancer in September 2006, the former "Charlie's
Angels" icon granted Charles Ornstein, formerly of the Los Angeles
Times, an interview — one she gave in August and which the
newspaper published Monday, in anticipation of "Farrah's Story," a
two-hour NBC documentary Fawcett filmed with her friend Alana
Stewart. It airs this Friday.
