‘Farrah’s Story’ draws in millions

‘Farrah’s Story’ draws in millions

LOS ANGELES – A documentary that shows Farrah Fawcett’s battle against cancer in wrenching detail drew an estimated 8,9 million viewers, NBC said.

‘Farrah’s Story’ details the former ‘Charlie’s Angels’ star’s treatment and hopes for recovery, following her through chemotherapy and other grueling treatment. Fawcett (62), was diagnosed in 2006 with anal cancer that has spread to her liver.
The film was NBC’s most-watched programme in its Friday night slot in more than a year, excluding the Olympics, according to preliminary ratings. It was edged out by CBS’ season finale of the crime drama ‘Numb3rs’, which drew an estimated 9,6 million viewers.
Fawcett’s video diary was initially intended for private viewing by family and friends, but was shared with a wider audience after the actress realised her story could inspire others.
The actress maintains good humour during the film as she faces pain, setbacks and, as the treatments grow harsher, the loss of her trademark lush blond locks. – Nampa-AP
