March 1997:
The Farrah Fawcett Issue!
On Saturday Feb. 22, 1997 Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal separated after 15 years. Farrah and Ryan were never married but they do have one child, Redmond (age 12). The couple will jointly participate in the upbringing of their son. After the sad
news Angelic Heaven staff felt it only fitting to make the March
issue: Farrah’s month. Last month the newsletter found itself
bombarded by Farrah, Farrah, Farrah! Ms. Fawcett celebrated
her fiftieth birthday by shining on the cover of her home state's
magazine, Texas Monthly (February 1997). The article, written by
Skip Hollandsworth, shares with the readers Farrah’s fondest
memories of her fast pace career and Skip finds himself on his own
“Angel” adventure as Farrah does some character research! Also
in February, the Angelic Heaven got a "whiff" that being released
in Brazil is a new line of Farrah Fawcett fragrances. The
perfume's slogan is "For Women More Woman Than Ever". It has been
rumored that this is the first in a line of women skin care products
that will bare Ms. Fawcett's name. It's unknown if her cologne will
ever hit the US (you could take a summer trip to Brazil). The Eau De
Parfum comes four different ways, la Belle, la Provocante, la
Fraiche, and la Jolie. One can only hope to be able to get a sweet
smell of Farrah's newest venture! across the sea! What would it
smell like? Maybe a meadow of roses mixed with sunflowers and
tulips or just something Angelic!
Farrah has also landed on the cover of Australian Playboy
(February 1997)! Her fourth Playboy issue includes the same
photos from the US issue and cover photo from the Japanese/German
issues! Coming up, Farrah will be seen on the runway modeling
part of Nolan Miller's newest collection. The collection's premiere
will take place in Palm Beach, Fl. As for Farrah's sexy Playboy
video, it'll first be released as a Pay-For-View program in June
1997, then in late summer it'll will be released onto video. There is
a rumor that Playboy magazine will be doing an upcoming feature
as well. Entertainment Tonight highlighted Farrah as she
steamed up the TV screen during the filming of the video, which she
uses her body as a paint brush to artistically paint onto a canvas.
Summer will be very hot! Update on the Disney cartoon The Brave
Little Toaster goes to Mars which was to be released last
summer, there is still no release date! In The Brave Little
Toaster, Farrah Fawcett and her son Redmond worked together
for the first time. And on her upcoming theatrical film The
Apostle, is currently being edited for a hopeful winter release
date. So there you have it, Farrah, Farrah, Farrah! She keeps
getting better!

May 1997:
Remember Rosemary's Paiting
Remember this painting from "Rosemary for Remembrance",
recalling how it had a striking resemblance to Kris Munroe? At Ms.
Ladd's recent book signing, Jules, who worked on the set of
Charlie's Angels, showed up with the painting to have Ms. Ladd sign
it.
This one-of-a-kind painting is a really cool collectable! Jules
mentioned that after breaking down the set, the crew could not
find Ms. Ladd to give her the painting, so they were going to throw it
away. Being at the right place, at the right time, Jules saved it
from death and has treasured it over the years.
Nothing like be hit with the past!
