Farrah Fawcett windswept...
On the third anniversary of Farrah's passing(June 25th, 2012). Thought I would once again post a photo. I first saw this pic a few months ago... looks like it might be from a Herb Ritts photo shoot from 1986(Extremities) or 1991. But I'm guessing on that one(turns out,1982).
Also, how about a little trivia as well...
Who inspired the song "Midnight Train To Georgia"?
answer... "Farrah Fawcett"
Jim Weatherly wrote the song. He was a friend of Lee Majors at the time. One night he called Lee. Farrah answered the phone... when inquiring about Lee. Farrah stated that they were packing. Getting ready to catch a "Midnight Plane To Houston"... the quote stuck with him and he wrote a song to it. Using Farrah and Lee as his muses.
By the time it got to Gladys Knight & The Pips. The title had already been altered to "Midnight Train To Georgia". As previously recorded by Cissy Houston(Whitney's mom).
