Wow. Two entertainment heavyweights in the same day. It was a sad day in Tinseltown.
I can't say that I was ever a big fan of either. I do have a couple of Jackson songs on my shuffle. I think one is Dirty Diana and I'm not sure of the other. He was clearly a huge talent but there was, as my grandmother used to say, something that wasn't quite right. Whatever it was seemed to be as big as his talent and he just became stranger and stranger over the years. His appearance was just bizarre. And his thoughts on sleeping with children other than his own were criminal. I think if he had not been so famous and talented he would have been put away for child molestation. But I certainly can put his musical talent up with the likes of Elvis. And it's odd how these people seem to always die young.
I never really got caught up in the Farrah phenomenon. Her poster came out in 1976 and I was 28 at the time so she was in my age group. I certainly found her attractive and sexy but not any more so than her counterparts on Charlie's Angels. I sort of favored Kate Jackson at the same although I think Jaclyn Smith has held her beauty better over the years. But there was something about Farrah that I liked and I found her beauty more attractive as she aged. That's not easy to do. And she handled her disease with dignity. In retrospect she was sexy and classy at the same time. Not many women can do both but she pulled it off with ease.
