Death of 2 American Icons


On June 25th, we lost 2 American icons, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.
Farrah Fawcett passed away last Thursday morning due to complications from cancer She was 62 years old. She was an actress who first rose to fame as one of the original angels in the 1970's TV series, Charlies Angels. She also was in several made for TV movies. I always thought it was cool that we shared the same birthday.
Michael Jackson passed away unexpectedly last Thursday afternoon. He was just 50 years old. They are still trying to determine what he caused his death. He was a pop star known as the "King of Pop" His "Thriller" album, released in 1982, is still the top seller of all time. He started singing at the age of 5 with his brothers then had a great solo career. His later years was full of controvery but I can't help but remember his pure talent especially from the 80's.
