Farrah Fawcett: Presenting The Sequel To Farrah’s Cancer Death Show

7293284FARRAH Fawcett is dead. And her career enters a new phase. After the soft-focus made-fot-telly celebrity cancer show, another show is being made for the magic box. Want to see a sequel to Farrah’s death? Want to see her cloned? We broke the news Filming Farrah Fawcett’s Funeral For A Sequel.

Anorak’s Man in LA reports on the lates.

First a question:

Will Farrah Fawcett’s death be included in the sequel to “Farrah’s Story” now being produced by Ryan O’Neal?

RYAN O’Neal has begun production on a sequel to the maligned and Emmy-nominated Farrah’s Story television special, and the question left hanging is whether Farrah Fawcett’s death will be included.
Farrah’s Story was a revamped version of Farrah’s cancer journal documentary that aired to high ratings in May 2009, a little more than a month before Farrah’s death. Cameras continued to roll through the final weeks of Farrah’s life, however, and there have been whispers that cameras were there as Farrah passed.
Ratings-hungry NBC has not been shy in showing the moment of death, as demonstrated last week of in its constant replaying of the brutal luge accident death of an Olympic athlete.

As we reported exclusively in June, the sequel was in the works even before Farrah was buried, as camera crews filmed Farrah’s funeral services for the project.

The sequel is being billed as a “tribute” to Farrah, whose death on June 25th was overshadowed by that of Michael Jackson hours later.

RadarOnline.com reports that a producer for the project arrived in Texas earlier this month to shoot interviews with Farrah’s friends, although at least one person (not Greg Lott) has refused to participate, in protest of O’Neal’s involvement.

Farrah’s Story began as a video journal produced by Farrah and her production partner Craig Nevius, who sued O’Neal, Alana Stewart and business manager Richard B. Francis for pushing him out of the project and turning a serious medical documentary into a maudlin exploitative show. As the battles continue to rage behind the scenes, Francis sued Nevius on behalf of Farrah’s estate, accusing him of mucking up the doco and even stealing her money. – TB
