LOS ANGELES (AP) - Farrah Fawcett, whose stunning looks and
blinding smile made her a pop icon of the 1970s, has died. She was
62.

Her spokesman, Paul Bloch, says Fawcett died Thursday morning in
a Santa Monica hospital. Her three-year battle with cancer was depicted in the TV documentary ``Farrah's Story.''

She burst on the scene in 1976 as one-third of the crime-fighting trio in TV's ``Charlie's Angeles.'' A poster of her in a clingy swimsuit sold in the millions.

She left the show after one season but had a flop on the big screen with ``Somebody Killed Her Husband.'' She turned to more serious roles in the 1980s and 1990s, winning praise playing an abused wife in ``The Burning Bed.''
