Morgan Fairchild, Jaclyn Smith, Donna Mills, and Alana Stewart gathered to honor their late friend, Farrah Fawcett. The lineup of TV icons attended the Farrah Fawcett Foundation 2025 Tex-Mex Fiesta at The Rustic on Thursday evening in Dallas, Texas, and looked better than ever. Smith, who celebrated her 80th birthday earlier this week, is best known for her role as Kelly Garrett on the iconic series Charlie’s Angels. (If you’re lucky, you caught her on her recent return to TV screens with an appearance on Doctor Odyssey!) Fairchild, 75, is also aging like a fine wine. The blonde beauty rose to stardom on shows like Flamingo Road and Falcon Crest, but we’ll always love her appearances on Murphy Brown and Roseanne. Mills, 84, first hit the scene in Clint Eastwood’s 1971 film Play Misty for Me, but solidified her stardom in Knots Landing. Stewart, who was previously married to George Hamilton and Rod Stewart, wrote a book, My Journey with Farrah: A Story of Life, Love, and Friendship, and filmed a documentary, Farrah’s Story, about Fawcett. She is the President and CEO of the organization. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Farrah Fawcett’s Legacy Fawcett was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006. She announced her diagnosis in a public statement, sharing her mission to overcome the battle. “Throughout the journey of my life, I have maintained a strong faith in the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity. I deeply believe in one’s own positive will to overcome even the most daunting challenges,” Fawcett wrote, PEOPLE shared. She continued, “I am resolutely strong and I am determined to bite the bullet and fight the fight while going through the next six weeks of cutting-edge, state-of-the-art treatment.” Fawcett started the organization the following year. While she was given a clean bill of health in 2007, her cancer returned a few months later. Doctors told her it had metastasized to her liver, and she died in 2009. In honor of Fawcett’s legacy, the organization raises funds for HPV-related cancer research, patient assistance funds during treatment, and prevention programs to help spread the word.
