Friends and family will celebrate the life of Farrah Fawcett in private on Tuesday. The funeral service will be held at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels in Los Angeles, according to church officials.
The 'Charlie's Angels' actress succumbed to anal cancer on June 25 at the age of 62.
She had originally been diagnosed in September 2006 and declared herself free of the disease four months later. Cancer returned in May 2007, and recently made her struggle public with the TV documentary, 'Farrah's Story.'
Days before her death, her longtime lover Ryan O'Neal announced the couple would finally get married, but they never got a chance.

A Look at Farrah

    After a long battle with cancer, Farrah Fawcett has died at the age of 62. Her longtime partner Ryan O'Neal was by her side when she passed away.

    The 'Charlie's Angel' star was diagnosed back in 2006. She filmed a documentary about her struggle with the disease called 'Farrah's Story.'

    Fawcett has said of her cancer battle: "It's much easier to go through something and deal with it without being under a microscope. It was stressful. I was terrified of getting the chemo. It's not pleasant. And the radiation is not pleasant."

    Fawcett is best known for playing Jill Munroe in the series 'Charlie's Angels' back in the 1970s. Her undeniable sex appeal helped make the show a gigantic hit and established the actress as the top pin-up model for millions of men (and adolescent boys).

    It quickly became clear who the top Angel was on the show when it premiered in 1976, though Jaclyn Smith, left, and Kate Jackson were no slouches themselves. Fawcett left the show after only one season, but came back sporadically in later years. She was replaced by the also saucy Cheryl Ladd. The show ran until 1981.

    Fawcett has always had an idea as to why the show was such a success with viewers. "When the show was number three, I figured it was our acting," she has said about ratings. "When it got to be number one, I decided it could only be because none of us wears a bra."

    The Texas native began doing shampoo commercials and TV guest spots in the early 1970s and eventually caught the eye of producers who cast the unknown beauty in 'Angels.' Her tousled and feathered hair style was "The Rachel" of its time and has been copied by generations.

    She showed her acting chops -- and garnered one of three Emmy nominations -- for her portrayal as a battered wife in the acclaimed 1984 TV movie 'The Burning Bed.'

President Obama called and gave the Jackson family his condolences. Did he do the same for Farrah? Did he do the same for Ed McMahan?

She was an incredible actress in "The Burning Bed" and when she played DIane Downs in "Small Sacrifices." Much talent...that extended beyond Charlie's Angels.
