[edit] Gay icon?

Why is Fawcett listed as a gay icon (category)? She's not gay, in fact she's had relationships with several men over the years (Lee Majors, Ryan O'Neil)? If no one has an answer, I'll rever the addition. — Frecklefoot | Talk 16:22, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)

Okay, turns out she appeals to gays. — Frecklefoot | Talk 16:37, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gay Icon Project

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:36, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

There's a famous poster of her in a red bathing suit. Someone should replace the current pic (from Myra Breckinridge) with that one.

[edit] Unfortunately you chose the wrong version of the poster.

You chose a version of the poster that I'd never seen, and as old as I am you can believe I saw the original...

[edit] Filmography is incomplete.

Probably the best Playboy video to date is the video about Farrah Fawcett that she made when she turned fifty. There is some nudity, but there is more art than nudity. The going rate on Amazon for a copy of this DVD is $199.99. They are hard to find. I had one, I think my son took it with him when he went away to college. Imagine that, a 20-year-old watching a 50-year-old woman with lust in his heart.

[edit] A link to The Poster.

If Guernica (painting) is iconic enough to justify fair use (Wikipedia:Fair use), than certainly this poster is.

[edit] Incoherent at Shatner's Roast?

I just watched that roast twice. While I agree that she was not exactly smooth in delivering her jokes -- far from it -- I do not feel that she was incoherent. NSpector 08:56, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

  • What roast were /you/ watching? I can't believe they let her go that long. It was embarassing. Rockhound 18:56, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
It could also have been an act. Either way its not our place to assume one thing or another. These personal biography pages are disasters waiting to happen if we don't stay as NPOV as possible. I deleted the tabloid comment as it is the kind of thing that absolutely must be sourced, and the plastic surgery remark seems unnecessary and likely unfounded. If someone can provide a somewhat reliable source then maybe it will work. I also cleared up the roast information along the same lines.--Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 07:01, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
Add: She was rather coherent during the Emmy ceremonies when she spoke so I find it hard to believe the entire roast deal was for real.--Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 07:07, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] farah

did she not attend the University of Texas?

[edit] Orr injuries

"In 1998, she was injured by then-boyfriend James Orr when he tried to stop her from vandalizing his house." Entertainment tonight just said that Orr attacked her and then she returned the next night with a baseball bat and hit his car with it when he wouldn't let her in the house. --Gbleem 05:57, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] anal cancer

how do u get anal cancer —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.43.250.76 (talk) 21:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC).

Probably similar to how one gets breast cancer, prostate cancer, or brain cancer. Eating lots of beef increases your chances of colon cancer, because of how long it takes to digest (according to my nurse friend). Lewie 21:30, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Charlies angels 1st season dvdcover.jpg

Image:Charlies angels 1st season dvdcover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:05, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Passive voice

Interesting and useful article, but can it loose the passive voice? "It was revealed..."? Eeeuww. Instead, (just a fabricated example) how about phrasing such as this: "Sarah, in an interview in the Curmugeon Weekly [footnote goes here], revealed that...".
