Ryan O'Neal has begun production on a sequel to the maligned and Emmy-nominated Farrah's Story television special, and the question left hanging is whether Farrah Fawcett's death will be included.
Farrah's Story was a revamped version of Farrah's cancer journal documentary that aired to high ratings in May 2009, a little more than a month before Farrah's death. Cameras continued to roll through the final weeks of Farrah's life, however, and there have been whispers that cameras were there as Farrah passed.
Ratings-hungry NBC has not been shy in showing the moment of death, as demonstrated last week of in its constant replaying of the brutal luge accident death of an Olympic athlete.
As we reported exclusively in June, the sequel was in the works even before Farrah was buried, as camera crews filmed Farrah's funeral services for the project.
The sequel is being billed as a "tribute" to Farrah, whose death on June 25th was overshadowed by that of Michael Jackson hours later.
RadarOnline.com reports that a producer for the project arrived in Texas earlier this month to shoot interviews with Farrah's friends, although at least one person (not Greg Lott) has refused to participate, in protest of O'Neal's involvement.
Farrah's Story began as a video journal produced by Farrah and her production partner Craig Nevius, who sued O'Neal, Alana Stewart and business manager Richard B. Francis for pushing him out of the project and turning a serious medical documentary into a maudlin exploitative show. As the battles continue to rage behind the scenes, Francis sued Nevius on behalf of Farrah's estate, accusing him of mucking up the doco and even stealing her money.

HUH.... I TOLD YOU SO
WHAT A LOW LIFE! THIS IS SICK.
Ryan and Alana have no shame.
Im glad Greg Lott wants nothing to do with this exploitation of a dying woman.
This just continues to back up what Kate say's is true.
This is not love or a tribute this is nothing more then for these two to continue to make money off of Farrah's death. I did hear she was filmed up to her death and the funeral,don't know if that;s true or not.
But a sequel has been rumored even before Farrah passed away. I hope this is not true but with people like Ryan and Alana it probably is and Im sure the money they get for this they'll claim is going to that foundation that Alana runs,the one with the PO box in beverly hills and no phones or email address YET! I knew this was going to happen just thought Ryan would know better then to stoop even lower then he already has. HELL HAS CONFIRMED TWO RESERVATIONS ALANA HAMILTON AND RYAN O"NEAL! And if Alana say's it's what Farrah wanted AGAIN I will vomit. This is bullshit.
Her childhood friend wants nothing to do with this so called tribute if Ryan is involved.
Too many people dislike this guy and Im sure they know more then we could ever imagine.
Now if it's a tribute without footage of her actual death or any other footage of her semi concious then I have no problem with it.
But if they include anything morbid or exploitive then they need serious help.
Sad
Let me just say if this is only a tribute and people recalling memories of Farrah then i don't have a problem with it. That being said...If any footage of Farrah dying is included then to me that's wrong and exploitation does not describe how sick that would be.
I think Ryan may have wanted that but knows it would backfire,but If he could get away with it then he would. Maybe they are saving the morbid stuff for the STOLEN FARRAH DEATH TAPE,Im sure that will be the next project those two will be working on.

What's wrong with your typing?
You got a nervous twitch or something?
"to shoot interviews with Farrah's friends, although at least one person (not Greg Lott) has refused to participate, in protest of O'Neal's involvement."
That one person MUST be Kate Jackson! ... Good for her!
I can only imagine who the list of 'friends' will be ...
1. Alana Stewart
2. Ryan O'Neal
3. Mela Murphy
4. Candy Spelling
5. Joan Dangerfied
6. Jaclyn Smith ... MAYBE?
7. Dr. Piro
8. Alana Stewart's 'German Toy Boy'
WOW ... BIG list! Who knows, they may throw in a few employees who were FIRED by Farrah but turn it around as if they were 'SOUL partners/sisters/brothers/cousins/grandfathers/grandmothers/aunts/uncles etc. etc. etc ... Seems the word 'SOUL' is used to give empathizes to the 'friendship' ... FUCK, these people don't even own a SOUL, let alone know what it and the word friendship means! LOL
However, I highly doubt they filmed a 'death scene' ... they aren't THAT stupid to do such! ... What crediable/respectable TV station would air that WITHOUT a BIG OUTCRY from the viewers, regardless if they are Farrah fans or otherwise!?? ... This said, this type of 'rumor' was probably leaked by Ryan/Alana's people to give the documentary more FREE publicity and talk!
Another thing I want to point out ... if it is true that Alana and Ryan kept on filming Farrah, even in her last moments/days, and also during the funeral then OBVIOUSLY these people are EXPOSING themselves to be the liars and money hungry people that they are! ... Why do I say this? BECAUSE no NORMAL person who has just lost a LOVED ONE would have such an idea cross their mind, let alone do it! No matter how famous that person is/was! They'd be too distraught over the death!
I'm surprised a photograph of a dead Farrah didn't show up somewhere, making it seem it was taken by 'someone' and 'leaked' ... like they did with Elvis! .. who knows ... it just may 'pop up' like the paparazzis just 'popped up' at airports and German hospitals to take photos of Alana oops I mean Farrah!

Europe
YES, I'M BAAAACK !!!!! awaiting for my number one fan's attacks! :)
Need to clear something up here ... when I wrote "FUCK, these people don't even own a SOUL, let alone know what it and the word friendship means! LOL" ...
I was refering to Alana Stewart and Ryan O'Neal ... NOT the others on the list I made up.

Beware of what and who? The NG Fan?
Michael who has nothing better to do? Are you people serious? Get a life, a hobby, get something. You must be very lonely to live on this blog running with every rumor and speculation. You are really frightening!! The only thing to beware of on here is the insanity that goes on. LOL
Why don't you get a hobby Anon!
You have nerve to come on here your damn self and comment on other people's right to say what they feel.
Anyway Micheal Europe I 100% agree with you.
Also Farrah's life long friend Karen from Texas said also she will not participate as long as Ryan is involved with the project. Im sure this will co-inside with Ryan's book and be more about him and his "LOVE STORY" crap he tried to pull with Farrah's Story and how the edited it to make it seem Ryan was at her side through it all which as we know he was not.
Anonymous 2:44 ...
THANKS! :)
I do feel that my 'FAN' also agrees with me 100% BUT is so fucking AFRAID of ME for telling what I feel is the TRUTH, that he/she/it comes on here trying to redirect the topic and get all childish with remarks and name calling etc. etc. etc ... Otherwise what else is the motive, other than to attack people who speak their mind FREELY, HONESTLY, OPENLY, TRUTHFULLY, & FEARFULLY??? ... all with the COMMON SENSE FACTOR to back up the opinions, after reading/viewing/studying the topic at hand!
What I found FUNNY is he/she/it attacks people for being here and accusing them of having no life, YET he/she/it is here all the time, him/her/itself!
Michael
Europe
Ryan is doing this for the money!
There is no other reason and saying "tribute" is nothing but a lie. I hope none of her friends participate. However, we know that Alana, Mela, maybe Joan, and anyone else pro Ryan and Alana will / would get in on this! Maybe Ryan will make Alana the Co-Executive Director this time!
Wouldn't that just be fitting.
He is sick! Wants Farrah to Rest in Peace and be left alone, only to produce another Documentary with him in the lead role.
Sick, Sick, Sick!!! It this ever going to stop. Ryan is the one that should be in jail, drug rehab or just locked up for being absolutely crazy!
not Joan, not Joan DANGERFIELD. ( or another Joan?) It's totally impossible.... an error
Anon 4:33
Meaning she would or wouldn't?
Most people know what Ryan and Alana are doing and that is making more money off of Farrah's death.
We know these two are going to profit off of Farrah until the day they die and Im sure this is just the beginning and God only knows what's next.
They need to get REAL JOBS and let the woman rest in peace!
The only tribute as far as I can see is Farrah's documentary being released
A Wing And A Prayer!
Anybody else notice how every time there's a Farrah Story on this blog, it turns into a scene from 'NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD'. An innocent, unsuspecting human (someone with a difference of opinion) comes along, and the zombie freaks come out and disembowel them and rip them to shreds.
I see this blog headed down the same path as Hitman---you can hear the grass grow over there.
Anon 5:18 I agree!!!
Any Tribute done for Farrah will not be a tribute at all in O'Neal, Stewart and gang are involved.
Farrah's death was overshaddowed by Michael Jackson's death. We all thought that was to bad! However, If a tribute is done and it wants any real chance of being good...Ryan should back off and let someone with integrity do it!
What is up with her Estate Lawyer?
Letting something like this happen. He should stop it if he is any kind of lawyer at all, but then we know he is on Ryans payroll!
Ryan needs counseling, not a job, but serious mental counseling! And Alana should join in on the sessions!
The Hitman's Blog was BS. He was a turn coat and couldn't make up his mind where he stood. You will notice that he would touch any of this stuff and he shouldn't. In fact he should shut his blog down. It is useless!!
With that said: Ryan is uselee too!
He is cashing in on Farrah and again that is SICK!!!
Isn't it strange how if this is all true that it's not all over the place? Just checked People, USmag, MSN.com, ETonline.....there's nothin'.
http://www.anorak.co.uk/239829/celebrities/farrah-fawcett-presenting-the-sequel-to-farrahs-cancer-death-show.html
Here's another one, but don't know anything about the publication.
Anon 6:12
You are right! Whether we are for or against...this may just be another ploy by TB and Radar to get the fans stirred.
With your post, I have come to the conclusion, that we either need more proof that this truly is what's going on (research) or just drop it people.
Why are we continuing to keep these to internet blogs on the map. It is already proven that they don't know what they are talking about half the time and their sources are not reliable.
So, until I know for sure...I'm not participating in another war/debate about Farrah Fawcett!
Sorry, but that's just a UK tabloid that used Radar's story. I'll wait to pass judgement until I see something reliable. Thanks, though.
Checked...most reports of a sequel date back to May 2009. With the exception of Radar and Tabloid Baby and the London paper and a couple other internet rags...nothing is coming up about a sequel.
I agree that we MUST wait for a more reliable source to report before jumping to conslusions!
Friday at 2:44,
How do you know what Farrah's life long friend, Karen said about participating in the sequel?
I saw this story on another website and it said that Karen had given her interview. The source also said that that the information came from a photographer that had taken pics at the funeral but that he was prohibited from distributing the pics or any other info. It is not uncommon for pics to be taken at a funeral and we see it all the time plastered on all rag mags or time magazine when a celebrity or politician dies. I've seen it done at regular funerals. In the old days many people took pics at funerals. With that being said, there does not seem to be any reliable source at the moment regarding this info, it is strictly on these rumor blogs.
Ok, so my take, not that anyone cares is.. I am glad to see a tribute Show/Doc to Farrah, no matter who produces it. We can all agree Farrah was a icon who lost her battle to cancer, she wanted it documented, however MJ's death took some/alot of the attention off her fight.... so regardless, it will be nice to see something NEW on her. i am just a fan, who will enjoy seeing FARRAH NEWS. it would made no matter whos involved, so someone will make money regardless.
in response to people saying Hitman was a turncoat, cant we say the same about Kate J ? She as well switched "SIDES" at some point, so what makes her any different ? I'm just asking....???
Farrah is and will remain news, good bad and ugly, this is what will make her a LEGEND like Marilyn........ If she died and it was the end, there would be no SCANDAL for people to remember and ALWAYS talk about, in the end her makes her legacy LASTING. AGAIN, JUST AND OPINION.
Kate switched sides because she finally realized those two aka Ryan and Alana are LIARS CROOKS
To Anon feb 19th 10:06 AM
If Farrah's fight got lost it was not all due to MJ'S death the same day, it also has alot to do with what Ryan and Alana did to that documentary and Im not just talking about how they got control of it that's another story,but what Farrah wanted was not what we saw May 15th 2009 instead we got something to help jump start Ryan's faded career and to make it about him. They even changed the title to co-inside with the only movie Ryan is known for.
You should have a problem with a sequel because the people doing it did nothing to Honor Farrah or any of her wishes and what a fan you are!
Probably that Ray guy the weirdo who stalked her. freak
ONE QUESTION I HAVE
WHERE THE HELL DID RYAN AND ALANA GET THE RIGHT TO HAVE COMPLETE AND TOTAL CONTROL OF FARRAH?
IS IT IN HER WILL THAT THEY OWN HER NAME AND LIKENESS?
WAS IT IN HER WILL THAT THEY WERE TO CUT HER OFF FROM LOVED ONES WHEN SHE DECLINED?
WAS RYAN TO RUN HER FUNERAL LIKE A BOUNCER AT A NIGHT CLUB AND A GUEST LIST THAT INCLUDED ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT?
THEY NEED THROWN IN JAIL THE BOTH OF THEM!
Someone needs to sue Ryan/Alana on behalf of Farrah's remaining BLOOD relatives and get back what is legally theirs.
And sorry but Redmond needs to grow up and honor his mother and take back her likeness from his dad and that Alana and put them back in the unemployment line.
Ryan Im sure will see to it that that kid stays on drugs and in jail/rehab. We saw that in Dec 2009.
Anon 10:06
Hitman just didn't turn his mind around. He back one guy for months very publicly and then turned on him very publicly! Yes, Kate said ONE thing, but she didn't have a blog on it!
It is not the same!!!!!
Anon 11:26 said: WHERE THE HELL DID RYAN AND ALANA GET THE RIGHT TO HAVE COMPLETE AND TOTAL CONTROL OF FARRAH?
I would like an answer to that question as well.
Unfortundtly, the lawyer for Farrah's estate is also on Ryans payroll. So, that is probably why.
Redmond is the only one who really could do anything about any of this and we all know what kind of state he is in. I just hope and pray the boy gets better and takes a stand!
Sooo sorry for the spelling errors!
I know how much that drives some of you crazy.
Especially the Teacher/Actor.
Sorry
Anon 10:06
Scares me to death what Ryan might show in a tribute or another documentary. True, we all like to see good things about Farrah, but you can't count on that coming from Ryan! Sorry, but if he produces it, you better be ready for morbid! That is not how I want to remember her.
But, as was mentioned many posts before, we don't even know if this is a true story. Nobody is reporting it but T.Baby and Radar. When a news media with some clout says it is so, then I will believe it, but until then it is just a rumor from last May!
Millions and millions saw Farrah's Story and were touched and affected. I could care less what the title was, Farrah is what mattered to me. And to MILLIONS. Her message got out and will help save lives and help thousands of people have many, many more birthdays. What Farrah gave was a gift and a legacy, no matter who was behind the scenes or on the credits. A few angry, hate-filled people on a blog cannot change that.
I'm not hate filled, but angry, yes. As I said before: Anyone but Ryan!!! Or Alana!!!!
