Farrah Fawcett Loses Her Courageous Battle With Cancer

Today, as I am sure everyone has heard, Farrah Fawcett died at the age of 62 after a 3-year battle with anal cancer.

Farrah was a beloved actress and sex symbol from the 1970s. According to CNN.com, "Fawcett's death was confirmed by Paul Bloch, one of her representatives at Rogers and Cowan, an entertainment public relations firm."

This article is well written, but the lead is lengthy. There are words used to describe her career could've been post-poned until after the lead was formed. There are about twelve words that could be eliminated, because they make the lead very wordy. This article goes on to explain the length and successes of Fawcett's career and how she had been documenting her courageous battle which was aired on May 15th as "Farrah's Story."
