From the Publisher
Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett. He was the handsome Academy
Award-nominated star of Paper Moon and the classic romance
Love Story. She was the beautiful, all-American Charlie's
Angel, whose poster adorned the bedroom walls of teenage boys
everywhere. One of the most storied love affairs in Hollywood
history, their romance has captivated fans and media alike for more
than three decades. In a tragic turn, the world lost Farrah after a
tragic battle with cancer in 2009, but in his intimate memoir
Both of Us, Ryan brings their relationship to vivid
life.
Fans of each other from afar, Ryan and Farrah met through her
husband, Lee Majors, and fell passionately in love. Soon, however,
reality threatened their happiness and they struggled with some
serious matters, including the disintegration of Farrah's marriage;
Ryan's troubled relationship with his daughter, Tatum, and son,
Griffin; mismatched career trajectories; and raising their young
son, Redmond-all leading Ryan and Farrah to an inevitable split in
1997.
Ryan fought to create a life on his own but never stopped longing
for Farrah. Eventually he realized that he had lost his true soul
mate. Older and wiser, he and Farrah found their way back to each
other and were excited to start a new life together. But their
bliss was cut short when Farrah was diagnosed with cancer and
passed away just three years later.
Ryan's deep love for Farrah and his devotion to preserving her
memory are evident in Both of Us. Drawing on decades'
worth of personal records and keepsakes, he has included
never-before-seen photographs, letters exchanged between him and
Farrah, and his own diaries, making this a poignant and compelling
memento for her fans. Written with candor and emotional honesty, it
is a true Hollywood love story.
