...Adding to the drama, Zelaya gave a live interview with Latin American network Telesur as he flew over the scene, making comments that veered from the impassioned to the reckless. "What we see is a return of the right in Latin America - a more reactionary right, more prone to killing, more fascist than in the past," he said of the shooting. "I'm doing everything I can. If I had a parachute, I would immediately jump out of this plane." Afterward, stranded in El Salvador, he promised to continue his struggle but did not reveal what his next move would...

It didn't turn out that way. It's a toss-up whether Charlie's made her a star or she made it a hit, but within two months of the premiere episode, the show was on the cover of TIME, with Fawcett poised at the apex of the Angels triangle. She was the trio's breakout babe...
