The actor who died at 82 remained at the side of Farrah Fawcett, from ‘Charlie’s Angels’, until his last breath, just as his character supported his beloved
Life imitates art, art imitates life and everything mixes. The death of actor Ryan O’Neal at the age of 82 brings to mind one of Hollywood’s most famous love stories. In fact, two. They are alone. Another, fictitious.
From 1982 to 1999 he had a relationship with the actress and model Farrah Fawcett, the unforgettable detective Jill from the series “Charlie’s Angels”. After the separation they remained friends and had some sentimental consequences.
When the star’s health worsened due to the recurrence of recto-intestinal cancer, Ryan left everything to take care of her. She remained by her side until the end, in June 2009, when the artist died at the age of 62, holding the hand of her life partner.
The real tragedy was linked to the greatest success of Ryan’s career, the 1970 film ‘Love Story’. In the greatest classic of love dramas without a happy ending, he played the young billionaire Oliver, who falls in love with the poor student Jennifer, played by Ali MacGraw.
Against everything and everyone, in a moment of greater prejudice against marriage between people of different social classes, the two decide to stay together.
As they prepare to have their first child, Jen discovers that she has leukemia (blood cancer). Shortly thereafter she dies in the arms of her beloved.
Ryan O’Neal said he was tired of asking Farrah to marry him. He only accepted – with a nod, without the strength to whisper – when he was already extremely weak, on the eve of departure. The two had an only son, Redmond, now 38 years old.
For some famous and anonymous people, life resembles an unpredictable soap opera.
