TV Land will celebrate the life of Hollywood actress and pop icon Farrah Fawcett, the network announced on June 25, 2009.

TV Land will honor the memory of Farrah Fawcett with a tribute presentation with the first two episodes of the 2005 TV Land original series, "Chasing Farrah," which chronicled her daily life as one of the most recognized stars in the history of celebrity, on Saturday, June 27 from 9pm - 10pm ET/PT. Fawcett passed away in Santa Monica, California this morning from cancer at the age of 62. The series gave viewers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the actress and her travels, both in and out of the spotlight.

"Farrah Fawcett was much more than a Hollywood icon, but a friend and colleague," explains Larry W. Jones, president, TV Land. "We are honored to have known her and worked with her and will remember her fondly. Our hearts go out to Farrah's entire family."

The tribute presentation of "Chasing Farrah" celebrates Farrah as she went to the U.S. Open in New York, relaxed with her close friend Alana Stewart and shared dinner with Ryan O'Neal -- the love of her life -- at his beach house.

Born on February 2, 1947 in Corpus Christi, Texas Farrah Fawcett attended the University of Texas, where she caught the eye of a celebrity publicist who convinced her to pursue her dream of acting in Los Angeles.

Her television career gained steam throughout the 1960s when she appeared on well-known shows such as "I Dream of Jeannie," "The Flying Nun" and "The Partridge Family" but it was the role of private eye "Jill Munroe" in the TV series, "Charlie's Angels" that garnered her world-wide fame and iconic status. Her growing popularity could not be denied when, during the first season, she posed in a red bathing suit for a poster that to this day has sold over 12 million copies worldwide. Fawcett left "Charlie's Angels" after just one season but continued a successful acting career including Emmy-nominated performances in "The Burning Bed," "Small Sacrifices," "The Guardian" and "Extremities" and in the acclaimed film, "The Apostle."

TV Land has made a lot of changes in shows that makes no since at all and showing them more than they should and it should stop. I loved TV Land for yesrs now untill this happen. Shows like she's got the looks and others like that show have a station of there own and put all the old shows back in there spots. I give a rating of 1 being good and 10 poor, my rating is a 10 at this time.
