Fawcett estate sues producer

The estate of 'Charlie’s Angels' actress Farrah Fawcett has sued a producer over his alleged actions before her death.

The lawsuit claims Craig Nevius exploited Fawcett, who died in Los Angeles on June 25, and revealed privileged information about the actress to the media.

The suit also claims Nevius turned in an unworkable first cut of a documentary on Fawcett’s fight with cancer.

The lawsuit states NBC, which showed the documentary 'Farrah’s Story', had to rework the footage with help from Fawcett’s longtime companion Ryan O’Neal.

Mr Nevius’ lawyer, Miles Feldman, said the allegations lacked merit and were an attempt to intimidate his client.

Nevius sued O’Neal and others over 'Farrah’s Story' last year. The case is still pending.

The lawsuit was first reported by celebrity website TMZ.com.
