Cancer victim Farrah Fawcett fought right to the end, her long-time boyfriend Ryan O’Neal has revealed.
The Charlie’s Angels star even managed to smile during her final hours before the disease claimed her last month at the age of 62.
"It was horrible. It was something that I had never experienced, and I’d done a movie about it.
"I am using what she taught me to survive, to go on, to care for my son Redmond. I have launched into this massive job of answering the mail that has come in over the last few weeks.
"I would have brought some of it but I have sent it on to Redmond so that he can see what people thought about his mother and it gives him strength to go on with his fight, because he is in a dog-fight out there.
"Redmond spoke to her a number of times on the cell phone and he was allowed to come to the funeral and carry her coffin with the rest of the pallbearers.
"I held a phone to her ear. I think they spoke about regret and the horror of him not being able to see her again.
"It was horrible. We thought she would live just another couple of hours but she lived a couple of days. She wouldn’t move on, she wouldn’t pass, she just looked at us with a slight smile – it was awful, then she flat-lined after about 16 hours and she was gone.
"I said I would see her soon and I see her every day. I write in my journal to her.
"In a sense, I am happy. She never closed her eyes – they were open for the last three weeks watching us. Then finally she closed her eyes."
