Another business partner says Ryan O'Neal is stopping him from visiting or talking to Farrah Fawcett; Texan vows to stay in L.A. "until I see Farrah"

The controversy surrounding Ryan O’Neal’s control over Farrah Fawcett in her dying days is intensifying as one of Farrah’s closest lifelong friends has stepped forward to claim that O’Neal is blocking him from any communication at all with his dear friend and business associate-- but that he won't give up until he's allowed to see her.

Texan Greg Lott, Farrah’s partner in the Official Farrah Fawcett website since 2006, has been a part of her life and legend for more than forty years.

“You want to know who’s keep me from accessing Farrah, physically, by telephone or email? The first person who’s blocking is Donna Curry, the building manager,” he said. “She’s lied to me on several occasions about what the process is to get through to Farrah."

“Ryan O’Neal is the gatekeeper. He’s been living there since I got there the day before Easter. I assume he’s been living there since the day he brought her home from the hospital, because that’s the last time I talked to her.

“And the other one is Alana Stewart."


Lott was the star quarterback at The University of Texas at Austin and Farrah was pledging the Tri Delta sorority when they first met in 1965. “She was my girlfriend, probably the most gorgeous creature I’d ever seen in my life,” he recalls. He became something of a notorious Texas legend after Farrah left college for Hollywood after her junior year. She wound up marrying Lee Majors, but Lott stayed in touch with her family, and in 1997, after Farrah and Ryan O’Neal announced their breakup, Lott and Farrah rekindled their friendship, and according to reports at the time, their relationship.

Lott, a businessman based in Texas, is close-lipped when it comes to details about their relationship, but says he’s been in Los Angeles since April 11, staying in an area hotel and trying to see Farrah, who’s been in her Beverly Hills area apartment.

“I’ve been here in Los Angeles since the day before Easter. I came of the plane and went straight to the building and was told I was no longer on the list-- with is a lie because there is no list. You get access when Farrah says they want to see you. What am I gonna do? Throw a fit in the building? I went back to the hotel. But I've been back, and have been lied to again and again."

O’Neal, Stewart and O’Neal’s business manager were sued earlier this month by Farrah’s documentary production partner Craig Nevius, who claimed in Superior Court documents that O’Neal unlawfully took creative control over what was to be a journalistic treatment of Farrah’s cancer battle but which became a sappy, morbid soap opera produced in conjunction with NBC News and featuring O’Neal in a reprise of his role in the cancer movie Love Story (the project was even renamed “Farrah’s Story”).

Nevius’ suit seemed superfluous after the NBC tabloid special ran on May 15th, but took on wider significance after Tabloid Baby reported that a main piece of evidence is a disputed signature on the document that allowed O’Neal to take over Farrah’s project, and ultimately her life.

Nevius also brought up access to his collaborator when talking about his complaint.

“Farrah and I have always had a direct and open line of communication-- professionally and personally,” he told Tabloid Baby. “So why haven't Ryan and his business manager allowed me to see her? And why was I threatened-- physically and professionally-- if I even tried?”

Lott announced on the Farrah website on May 24th that he'd been denied access to his business partner. This is the first time he's pointed a finger publicly, as well as stating that he's in for the long haul. He told us:

“I’m staying here until I see Farrah Fawcett, and that means forever. I’m gonna keep on pushing in the media until somebody makes this change.”
