EXPECTING. Farrah Fawcett, 37, buoyant, blond-tressed actress who in recent years has essayed taxing TV roles (Murder in Texas, this week's The Burning Bed) to overcome the memory of her most famous part as one of the original Charlie's Angels; and Ryan O'Neal, 43, brawny, boisterous actor (Love Story, Paper Moon), her steady companion for the past four years; their first child; in February...
WHENEVER BARBARA Walters lets a solemn tone creep into her voice, I expect to hear something like "How has stardom treated you, Farrah?" It's been so long since the Million Dollar Journalist covered anything real that I wasn't sure she remembered how.

What could easily have been routine marital soap opera becomes a domestic horror story of extraordinary power.

...most unglamorous role ever offered to her, but that did not stop Farrah Fawcett, 37, from starring in The Burning Bed. The TV movie concerns the true story of Francine Hughes, who endured vicious beatings by her husband until she finally murdered him. Fawcett was up to the acting demands of the part, but transforming the blond beauty into a convincingly battered wife was no easy task. "Her features are absolutely perfect," observes Makeup Artist Fred Blau. "It's like putting your foot through a Rembrandt." To make the star considerably less perfect, Blau darkened her eyes, created bruises...
Every generation indulges in fashion and cosmetic trends which render it laughable to posterity. Today's college students were innocent by standers during the age of the perilous Platform Shoe, but they were willing (albeit junior) accomplices during the reign of Discowear and the Farrah-Do. Their historical reputation will be further pockmarked by the city dwellers who insist on dressing like cow punchers, cattle wrestlers, and bronco busters...
