Today was one of the most painful days in a long while. The day began with heartbreak when news outlets announced the death of the iconic blonde beauty Farrah Fawcett (who portrayed the dashing Jill Munroe on the hit television series Charlie’s Angels). Fawcett, who had been battling cancer for several years now, passed away at the age of 62 with long-time partner Ryan O’Neal (of “Love Story”) by her side.

Just hours later, more tragic news surfaced, news that stunned the world over. Michael Jackson, the self-proclaimed King of Pop, passed away suddenly at the age of 50 after suffering a cardiac arrest. According to his brother, Jermaine, doctors spent at least an hour trying to resuscitate the legendary singer without any success.

Two iconic legends have left us too soon and on the same day. People around the world will be mourning for a long time.  We will miss Michael Jackson, his music, his humanitarian qualities, and his signature moves, and Farrah Fawcett, with her beautiful smile and envious blonde hair. Today, the world feels a little more talentless. May they rest in peace.
