Private funeral for Fawcett

A PRIVATE funeral service will be held tomorrow for model and actress Farrah Fawcett at the Cathedral of Our lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles.

Church officials say the service is set for 4pm (2300 GMT).

Fawcett died at St John’s Health Centre in Santa Monica on Thursday from anal cancer. She was 62.

The 1970s sex symbol is probably best known for being one of TV’s original Charlie’s Angels, co-starring Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith.

She spent three years in private fighting for her life but not long before she died chronicled her battle in a TV documentary.
