Farrah Fawcett, best known for her role in “Charlie’s Angels,” died today at age 62 after a very public battle with cancer.

According to PEOPLE.com, Fawcett’s health had been fading in recent weeks as her cancer progressed.  Her longtime partner Ryan O’Neal recently asked the ailing TV icon to marry him.  The two have one child together, 24-year-old Redmond O’Neal.

Tweeters mourned the loss of Fawcett and sent condolences to her family:
