Farrah Fawcett hospitalized in cancer battle

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Farrah Fawcett has been hospitalized in the latest stage of her battle against cancer, a producer working with the actress said Monday.

"She is not unconscious, she is not unresponsive, and she is not comatose," Craig Nevius told CNN.

He added that Fawcett "is surrounded by family and friends." She "has a real iron will" and is "a fighter," he said.

Nevius has been working with the 62-year-old on a documentary about her fight with cancer.

Earlier, he told People magazine that Fawcett had checked into "a Los Angeles hospital."

Fawcett was diagnosed in 2006. People magazine reported that she has anal cancer.

Early in 2007, Fawcett said she was told her cancer had gone into remission. Her official Web site has posts from February, 2007 celebrating the news.

But the cancer returned later that year.

I hope it hasn't become terminal

Wow, a shock. She was supposed to have been cancer-free as of 2007.

I remember her in "Charlie's Angels." Used to watch that show every week until the change of characters became ridiculous. I still have some photos I cut out from magazines of the "Angels" from 1976.

This is very sad news to hear.

May God be with her and her family during this difficult time!!

I love Farrah. God Bless her...

Her doctor confirmed late last night that she now has cancer in her liver as well. While she's not at death's door right now, she is in critical condition.

I feel so bad for her. Every time I've seen her in interviews, she always came across as such a sweetie. Besides her CA role as Jill, I also enjoyed her roles in Logan's Run and The Apostle. Godspeed, Farrah.

Mr. Television · 04-07-2009, 05:43 PM

I've said it before, but I've always liked Farrah. I remember watching CA all the time when I was a kid. She was my favorite Angel. I had to go to bed at 10 back then and that's when CA aired . I used to listen to the show on the tv from my bedroom though and I always watched during the summer. The following year, CA moved to 9 so I could watch it every week but sadly she had left the show. I used to think she was the most beautiful woman in the world and she always came across as just a nice person. I hope a miracle can be found and that she can recover. She doesn't deserve to be going through this.

TripperFan · 04-07-2009, 05:51 PM

I even vividly remember her appearance on The Partridge Family.

I never saw The Burning Bed or her other big TV movies from the 80s and 90s, but would love to someday.

She was great in the Burning Bed. I saw that movie when it was originally on. I haven't seen it since though.

She got nominated for an Emmy for that one, if I'm not mistaken.

She was fantastic in that movie. I'm really surprised she wasn't hired for more after that but she may have, and just turned the offers down. So different from her Jill character or anything else she had done. She could definitely act.

Farrah Fawcett is an incredible actress. I'm surprised that she wasn't an A-Lister. I loved her in Small Sacrafices. I read the book. She had the looks and the talent to be a huge film star, not a Lifetime TV movie star. Really, what does Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina, Julia Roberts and the rest have on Farrah? I feel very bad that she's so sick. It sounds like she needs a miracle. She has my prayers.
