While she had almost nothing to do with the Internet, the Web still has a lot to do with Farrah Fawcett, especially today after the iconic Hollywood actress and model died after a long and well-documented battle with cancer.
Still, the massive online reaction to a more sudden and unexpected celebrity death yesterday–pop legend Michael Jackson, who was 50–pretty much drowned out Fawcett’s passing at 62 years old.
That’s too bad, since she was a genuine cultural phenom–from her famous poster to her feathered hairstyle to her always glamorous declarations of “Freeze!” on the television show, “Charlie’s Angels.”
Thus, here’s my favorite of the many tributes to Fawcett from the Web, to remember her by:

Wonderful montage.
I never thought I would envy Danny Partridge or Reuben Kincaid, but I do now.
A quick viewing of that Partridge Family episode is here:
