Comics at machine HQ

With the new Apocalypse Project news report [see here or here] done, arg – realizing that it’s been several months since he published one of his funky Comics at machine HQ posts – decided to publish a new one. This post has been in the works for a couple of weeks now, and all this while arg has been trying [very] hard to remember which comic books/graphic novels he has read since the last post went online…

… and this here is the new list: comic books/graphic novels that have provided arg hours of enjoyment and reading/viewing pleasure in the last few months. Meanwhile, those looking for his older posts on comics and graphic novels can find them here.

Them funnybooks! As usual, what follows below is not a list of comics/graphic novels published in the last few months – it only includes titles that arg has had the opportunity to read. Also, the books are listed in alphabetical order.

We begin our funnybook tour with a legendary Golden Age artist: “Ghastly” Graham Ingels. Rotting corpses, dismembered limbs, witches, ghouls and gooey slime – Ingles drew all these [and more!] beautifully, much to the delight and joy of the readers of EC Comics’ now-classic horror and crime comic books. This terrifyingly tantalizing tome brings together some of his finest work from those publications, and is full of gruesome and gory goodness!

Also recommended: Bone Parish, Serial, Lady Baltimore – The Witch Queens, The Nice House on the Lake, The Plot, Crimson Lotus and TKO Presents Tales of Terror.

“An illustrated feature chronicling personal accounts of life and death from the front-lines of COVID-19. From a man stuck in Wuhan during the initial days of the outbreak to an ICU nurse in the thick of one of the busiest hospitals to an opera singer who goes viral while trying to bring hope to his devastated neighbourhood, this series takes you where news cameras couldn’t go.” Highly recommended.

Also recommended: Autobiographix, Haytham – A Childhood in Syria, Tamba Child Soldier, Poppies of Iraq, Superman Isn't Jewish (But I Am... Kinda), Little Sister, After the Spring – A Story of Tunisian Youth, Drowned City, Maiden, A for Anonymous – How a Mysterious Hacker Collective Transformed the World and The Most Important Comic Book on Earth – Stories to Save the World.

This is one groovy graphic novel: with its cool retro styling and fun, all-ages narratives, the Cuphead books are a treat to read and look at – just check out them jazz-lovin’ spooks in the excerpt above!

Also recommended: Mickey Mouse – The Greatest Adventures, Miss Endicott, Itty Bitty Hellboy, Little Nemo [2021], Groo Meets Tarzan, Scare City The Freddy Lombard Adventures and Tunnels.

An excellent compilation of horror shorts by renowned writers and artists that includes stand-alone tales of terror as well as shorter adventures of well-known characters such as Hellboy. Of note are the Wise Dog stores written by Evan Dorkin and drawn – with a lot of humour – by Jill Thompson.

Also recommended: The Evil Dead – 40th Anniversary Edition, John Constantine/Hellblazer, The King in Yellow, Heartbeat, The Down River People, The Dark North and American Vampire 1976.

“Since 1996, the city of Cognac, France, has celebrated the art of the thriller with a convention that draws fans and authors from all over. For a quarter of a century, the POLAR festival has been one of the world’s biggest crime fiction festivals, both in size and in importance.

For the 25th Anniversary of the festival’s founding, POLAR, in collaboration with Humanoids Press, put together a special anthology of noir stories told in comic form by dozens of writers and illustrators from all over the continent [and the world].” Highly recommended.

Also recommended: Crossroad Blues, For Justice – The Serge & Beate Klarsfeld Story, Streets of Paris, Streets of Murder, Ruby Falls, Mafiosa, Stiletto and An English Trilogy.

“For the first time in illustrated form, this comprehensive history of Sci-Fi traces its origins and charts its history from its beginnings as a ‘schlock’ genre to its respected status today.

Who is considered the world’s first science fiction author? How did American science fiction begin? What sci-fi novel is the all-time best-seller? Discover the origins of your favorite page-to-screen Sci-Fi movies. Find out why Sci-Fi so effortlessly captures our imaginations and makes us dream of new worlds…” Very nice!

Also recommended: Mister X – The Archives, Star Wars – The Original Trilogy – The Movie Adaptations, 2000AD Sci-Fi Special 2021, Alt-Life, Sea of Stars, Extinctions – Twilight of the Species, King Tank Girl, Big Girls, Gunblast Girls, Time Before Time, Titan, Adventureman, Sonata, Fire Power, Carbon & Silicon, Grendel: Devil’s Odyssey and Omega: The Unknown.

British visual artist Dave McKean’s beautiful book is about “Sokol the raptor, who flickers between two worlds: a feudal fantastical landscape where he must hunt prey to survive, and Wales in the late 1800s, where a writer of supernatural tales mourns the passing of his young wife. He exists between two states, the human and the hawk.” Highly recommended.

Also recommended: A Man's Skin, Eternal, Moon Face, Dracula – Vlad the Impaler, A Gift for a Ghost, Nanami, The Young Woman and the Sea, The Shadows, Excellence, the Usagi Yojimbo series, Hypnotwist and Mox Nox.

As mentioned previously, a Comics at machine HQ post usually remains incomplete without a Brullips [Brubaker+Phillips] book… so here’s this instalment’s entry – the first volume of the duo’s Reckless saga. “Meet Ethan Reckless: your trouble is his business, for the right price. But when a fugitive from his radical student days reaches out for help, Ethan must face the only thing he fears… his own past.” Great stuff!

Also recommended: Bog Bodies, Night of the Devil, Son of Hitler, The Good Asian, Hibakusha, Noir Burlesque and Jessica Blandy.

“Texas Jack is a legendary hero, a crack shot and a champion of the helpless who has gunned down dozens of enemies... but only in his traveling shows and the novels that bear his name! In reality, though, he's never been west, and has never shot anyone. So when a government agent asks him to go to Wyoming to face a bloodthirsty maniac, his first reaction is to say no. Yet to preserve his reputation, he eventually takes the job, and leaves with three co-stars from his show...”

Also recommended: The EC Archives – Saddle Justice, Sax Rohmer's Dope, Perico, Through Lya’s Eyes, Perramus – The City and Oblivion, Post York, That Texas Blood, Count and Write It In Blood.

“Kate Lacour’s Vivisectionary is a boundlessly inventive feast of single page sequential images that illustrate many marvelous, hideous, enigmatic physiological mysteries – a visual guide to the intimate workings of impossible biologies, told through a series of scientific diagrams and tableaux.

The coldness of scientific charts alternates with raw and intimate imagery, exploring a world where hummingbirds can be parasites, where feces can be transformed into brain tissue or gemstones. Part comic art, part textbook, Vivisectionary blends sex, religion, science, and body horror, with an eye to the sublime and the grotesque.” In other words: funky!

Also recommended: River of Ink, Degas and Cassatt – The Dance of Solitude, Magritte – This is Not a Biography, Drawing Power – A Compendium of Cartoon Advertising/Art, Django – Hand on Fire, The Famous Quartet of Piraeus, Lugosi – The Rise and Fall of Hollywood's Dracula, Invisible Men – The Trailblazing Black Artists of Comic Books and the Music Conspiracy series.

And that, ladies and lads, brings us to the end of this colourful post. Visit the recently-updated Apocalypse Project [links above], and stay tuned to machine HQ blog. And remember: machine HQ is now on Instagram too!

The Top Ten Best Graphic Novels Read in 2021:

Monsters Barry Windsor-Smith: Funny book fans will recognize Windsor-Smith’s work immediately. He did a remarkable turn on the first 24 issues of Marvel’s Conan The Barbarian comics, plus he was always to be counted on for equally remarkable art work and writing in a variety of Marvel comics (including the X-Men and Wolverine). I thought he had long retired, so when I discovered Monsters and saw his immediately recognizable artwork I did not hesitate despite the fact this book was close to 400 hundred pages. It took Windsor-Smith an astonishing 35 years to complete this massive book. It involves Nazis, science, brain washing, racial hatred and a hero named Corporal Elias McFarland who has the horrible gift known as “the shining” and a little boy named Bobby who is going to be used and abused by the US military. There is so much going on in this novel that if you take longer than a couple of days to read this you are going to miss half the story. Easily the best graphic novel I read all year, it is a tour de force for the artist/author whose patience rewards his readers.

Ghostwriter Rayco Pulido: If Monsters was epic in scope and length, Ghostwriter was smart and clever and ran a mere 96 pages. You are absolutely certain you know this story and who did what, but that is how the story works so effectively. Taking place in Barcelona in 1943, we follow the story through the actions of Doña Eulalia. To say any more would be to ruin a cleverly crafted thriller that outshines most other thrillers. You can actually read the entire graphic novel here: http://readallcomics.com/ghostwriter-tpb/ This was my second favorite graphic novel.

Penny Karl Stevens: My third favorite graphic novel is skewered towards cat owners. If you’ve never owned a cat then this novel isn’t going to have the same significance as it does for us cat owners. It is obvious Stevens is a cat lover and he is more than capable of filling panel after panel of drawings (paintings) of Penny and making them seem authentically real. That alone is quite a feat but his take on a cat’s thoughts had me laughing and looking at my cat wondering...

The remaining:

Missing in Action: The Book Tour Andi Watson: My library never stocked this book so I had to borrow it from another library which is why it doesn’t get added to the spine stack of 2021. In 2020 Adrian Tomine published The Loneliness of The Long-Distance Cartoonist a funny and wry look at the complications of going on a book tour. In 2021 Andi Watson did the same but raised the ante by having his author, GH Fretwell, going on a book tour and being mistaken for a serial killer who is killing book store owners. The reader is the only one, other than Fretwell himself, who knows he isn’t the serial killer and that Wrong Man scenario works in the novel’s favor.

Maggy Garrison Lewis Trondheim and Stéphane Oiry This combines three interlocking French graphic novels about a woman who has been out of work for three years before she finally lands a job as an assistant for an alcoholic private detective who is beaten and hospitalized three days into Maggy’s job. Her creativity and tenacity are outstanding as is her courage. I can’t believe that someone hasn’t made this into an actual film which would make someone one hell of a great role. But do people read graphic novels the way I do?

For Justice: The Serge & Beate Klarsfeld Story Pascal Bresson and Sylvain Dorange: Based on the real life couple who hunted Nazis and are responsible for locating and capturing Klaus Barbie, this graphic novel makes you feel as if whatever you are doing isn’t enough. Serge and Beate Klarsfeld are true humanitarians and they are still alive today and still fighting the good fight. This graphic novel delivers their life story and allows us to see what true dedication really is.

Meadowlark Greg Ruth and Ethan Hawke: Yes, that is Ethan Hawke the actor. And yes, he wrote this story and it is a doozy. When a teenage boy gets expelled from school, his father, a guard at a prison in town, is forced to take his son to work. Too bad it is on the day of a major prison break. Everything gets upended in this story and the teenage boy is going to have to do some serious growing up in a short period of time.

The Complete Works of Fante Bukowski Noah Van Sciver: I’m pretty certain I called the first two Fante Bukowski graphic novels my favorites when I read them. This gets the nod this time because it includes the third installment of the obnoxious wanna-be author’s exploits. Adding to the comedy is the actual author, Noah Van Sciver, is also a character here and you can only hope he isn’t as much a dick in real life as he is here. The third installment delves into Fante’s past and it is everything you hoped it would be. We also get to finally read Fante’s poetry ‘zine 6 Poems which gets included here as a bonus feature. This take off on a Library of America edition is already out of print so you may have to settle for the new paperback version from Fantegraphics.

El Deafo Cece Bell: Thank heavens for people like Cece Bell, a hearing impaired woman who had to wear a Phonic Ear hearing aid back in the day (it is one of those old fashioned hearing aids like David Lynch wears in his role as FBI Deputy Director Gordon Cole). Her take on wearing this is one of the funniest things I’ve had the pleasure to read. She pokes fun at herself as well as the closed minded people who are fearful of persons with disabilities. When her classmates discover that they can hear the teacher (who is wearing a mic that is hooked up to the Phonic Ear) going to the bathroom and badmouthing her students while on a smoke break in the teacher’s lounge, El Deafo is born! I discovered this in the Kid’s Library and was immediately taken by the title. Despite having worked with persons with disabilities, I’m no prude and this title immediately told me the author was someone who could gain from her misfortunes in life. And she is an excellent artist and author!

Factory Summers Guy Delisle: This book brought back memories of the summer jobs I had throughout college working in a kitchen. I thought that job was hot, but it was nothing compared to the author’s stint in a Quebec paper mill. I had no idea how logs were turned into paper, but this book details it and it is amazing. That and it tells the story of the author as a young man tackling a job that he was thankful for but equally thankful he wouldn’t have to use it as a long term career like many of the men he worked with who were three times his age.

Farrah Fawcett sweet smile Barbie Doll.

The most beautiful women in TV and Movie History now become Barbie Collector Dolls created by acclaimed re-paint Artist Donna Brinkley.

Farrah Leni Fawcett is known as the world’s Sexiest Star of all time… she will forever be one of Hollywood’s greatest Icons. She was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, the younger of two daughters.[3] Her mother, Pauline Alice January 30, 1914 – March 4, 2005), was a homemaker, and her father, James William Fawcett (October 14, 1917 – August 23, 2010), was an oil field contractor. Her sister was Diane Fawcett Walls (October 27, 1938 – October 16, 2001), a graphic artist. She was of Irish, French, English, and Choctaw Native American ancestry. Fawcett once said the name Ferrah was made up by her mother because it went well with their last name.

A Roman Catholic, Fawcett’s early education was at the parish school of the church her family attended, St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church in Corpus Christi. She graduated from W. B. Ray High School in Corpus Christi, where she was voted Most Beautiful by her classmates her Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior years of High School. For three years, 1965–68, Fawcett attended the University of Texas at Austin, living one semester in Jester Center, and she became a sister of Delta Delta Delta Sorority. During her Freshman year, she was named one of the Ten Most Beautiful Coeds on Campus, the first time a Freshman had been chosen. Their photos were sent to various agencies in Hollywood. David Mirsch, a Hollywood agent called her and urged her to come to Los Angeles. She turned him down but he called her for the next two years. Finally, in 1968, the summer following her junior year, with her parents’ permission to try her luck in Hollywood, Farrah moved to Hollywood. She did not return.

Upon arriving in Hollywood in 1968 she was signed to a $350 a week contract with Screen Gems. She began to appear in commercials for UltraBrite toothpaste, Noxema, Max Factor, Wella Balsam shampoo and conditioner, Mercury Cougar automobiles and Beauty Rest matresses. Fawcett’s earliest acting appearances were guest spots on The Flying Nun and I Dream of Jeannie. She made numerous other TV appearances including Owen Marshall: Counselor at Law, [Mayberry RFD]] and The Partridge Family. She appeared in four episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man with husband Lee Majors, The Dating Game, S.W.A.T and a recurring role on Harry O alongside David Janssen. She also appeared in the Made for TV movies, The Feminist and the Fuzz, The Great American Beauty Contest, The Girl Who Came Giftwrapped, and Murder of Flight 502.

She had a sizable part in the 1969 French romantic-drama, Love Is a Funny Thing. She played opposite Raquel Welch and Mae West in the film version of, Myra Breckinridge (1970). The film earned negative reviews and was a box office flop. However, much has been written and said about the scene where Farrah and Raquel share a bed, and a near sexual experience. Fawcett co-starred with Michael York and Richard Jordan in the well-received science-fiction film, Logan’s Run in 1976.

In 1976, Pro Arts Inc., pitched the idea of a poster of Fawcett to her agent, and a photo shoot was arranged with photographer Bruce McBroom, who was hired by the poster company. According to friend Nels Van Patten, Fawcett styled her own hair and did her make-up without the aid of a mirror. Her blonde highlights were further heightened by a squeeze of lemon juice. From 40 rolls of film, Fawcett herself selected her six favorite pictures, eventually narrowing her choice to the one that made her famous. The resulting poster, of Fawcett in a one-piece red bathing suit, was a best-seller; sales estimates ranged from over 5 million[12] to 8 million to as high as 12 million copies.

On March 21, 1976, the first appearance of Fawcett playing the character Jill Munroe in Charlie’s Angels was aired as a movie of the week. Fawcett and her husband were frequent tennis partners of producer Aaron Spelling, and he and his producing partner thought of casting Fawcett as the golden girl Jill because of his friendship with the couple. The movie starred Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and Fawcett (then billed as Farrah Fawcett-Majors) as private investigators for Townsend Associates, a detective agency run by a reclusive multi-millionaire whom the women had never met. Voiced by John Forsythe, the Charles Townsend character presented cases and dispensed advice via a speakerphone to his core team of three female employees, whom he referred to as Angels. They were aided in the office and occasionally in the field by two male associates, played by character actors David Doyle and David Ogden Stiers. The program quickly earned a huge following, leading the network to air it a second time and approve production for a series, with the pilot’s principal cast except David Ogden Stiers. Fawcett’s record-breaking poster that sold 12 million copies.

The Charlie’s Angels series formally debuted on September 22, 1976. Fawcett emerged as a fan favorite in the show, and the actress won a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Performer in a New TV Program. In a 1977 interview with TV Guide, Fawcett said: When the show was number three, I thought it was our acting. When we got to be number one, I decided it could only be because none of us wears a bra.

Fawcett’s appearance in the television show boosted sales of her poster, and she earned far more in royalties from poster sales than from her salary for appearing in Charlie’s Angels. Her hairstyle went on to become an international trend, with women sporting a Farrah-do a Farrah-flip, or simply Farrah hair Iterations of her hair style predominated American women’s hair styles well into the 1980s.

Fawcett left Charlie’s Angels after only one season and Cheryl Ladd replaced her on the show, portraying Jill Munroe’s younger sister Kris Munroe. Numerous explanations for Fawcett’s precipitous withdrawal from the show were offered over the years. The strain on her marriage due to her long absences most days due to filming, as her then-husband Lee Majors was star of an established television show himself, was frequently cited, but Fawcett’s ambitions to broaden her acting abilities with opportunities in films have also been given. Fawcett never officially signed her series contract with Spelling due to protracted negotiations over royalties from her image’s use in peripheral products, which led to an even more protracted lawsuit filed by Spelling and his company when she quit the show.

The show was a major success throughout the world, maintaining its appeal in syndication, spawning a cottage industry of peripheral products, particularly in the show’s first three seasons, including several series of bubble gum cards, two sets of fashion dolls, numerous posters, puzzles, and school supplies, novelizations of episodes, toy vans, and a board game, all featuring Fawcett’s likeness. The Angels also appeared on the covers of magazines around the world, from countless fan magazines to TV Guide (four times) to Time Magazine.

The series ultimately ran for five seasons. As part of a settlement to a lawsuit over her early departure, Fawcett returned for six guest appearances over seasons three and four of the series.

In 2004, the television movie Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Charlie’s Angels dramatized the events from the show with supermodel and actress Tricia Helfer portraying Fawcett and Ben Browder portraying Lee Majors, Fawcett’s then-husband.

In 1983, Fawcett won critical acclaim for her role in the Off-Broadway stage production of the controversial play Extremities, written by William Mastrosimone. Replacing Susan Sarandon, she was a would-be rape victim who turns the tables on her attacker. She described the role as the most grueling, the most intense, the most physically demanding and emotionally exhausting of her career. During one performance, a stalker in the audience disrupted the show by asking Fawcett if she had received the photos and letters he had mailed her. Police removed the man and were able only to issue a summons for disorderly conduct.

The following year, her role as a battered wife in the fact-based television movie The Burning Bed (1984) earned her the first of her four Emmy Award nominations. The project is noted as being the first television movie to provide a nationwide 800 number that offered help for others in the situation, in this case victims of domestic abuse. It was the highest-rated television movie of the season.

In 1986, Fawcett appeared in the movie version of Extremities, which was also well received by critics, and for which she received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama.

She appeared in Jon Avnet’s Between Two Women with Colleen Dewhurst, and took several more dramatic roles as infamous or renowned women. She was nominated for Golden Globe awards for roles as Beate Klarsfeld in Nazi Hunter: The Beate Klarsfeld Story and troubled Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton in Poor Little Rich Girl: The Barbara Hutton Story, and won a CableACE Award for her 1989 portrayal of groundbreaking LIFE magazine photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White in Double Exposure: The Story of Margaret Bourke-White. Her 1989 portrayal of convicted murderer Diane Downs in the miniseries Small Sacrifices earned her a second Emmy nomination[20] and her sixth Golden Globe Award nomination. The miniseries won a Peabody Award for excellence in television, with Fawcett’s performance singled out by the organization, which stated Ms. Fawcett brings a sense of realism rarely seen in television miniseries (to) a drama of unusual power Art meets life.

Fawcett, who had steadfastly resisted appearing nude in magazines throughout the 1970s and 1980s (although she appeared topless in the 1980 film Saturn 3), caused a major stir by posing semi-nude in the December 1995 issue of Playboy.[citation needed] At the age of 50, she returned to Playboy with a pictorial for the July 1997 issue, which also became a top seller. The issue and its accompanying video featured Fawcett painting on canvas using her body, which had been an ambition of hers for years.

That same year, Fawcett was chosen by Robert Duvall to play his wife in an independent feature film he was producing, The Apostle. Fawcett received an Independent Spirit Award nomination as Best Actress for the film, which was highly critically acclaimed.

In 2000, she worked with director Robert Altman and an all-star cast in the feature film Dr. T the Women, playing the wife of Richard Gere (her character has a mental breakdown, leading to her first fully nude appearance). Also that year, Fawcett’s collaboration with sculptor Keith Edmier was exhibited at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, later traveling to The Andy Warhol Museum. The sculpture was also presented in a series of photographs and a book by Rizzoli.

In November 2003, Fawcett prepared for her return to Broadway in a production of Bobbi Boland, the tragicomic tale of a former Miss Florida. However, the show never officially opened, closing before preview performances. Fawcett was described as vibrating with frustration at the producer’s extraordinary decision to cancel the production. Only days earlier the same producer closed an Off-Broadway show she had been backing.

Fawcett continued to work in television, with well-regarded appearances in made-for-television movies and on popular television series including Ally McBeal and four episodes each of Spin City and The Guardian, her work on the latter show earning her a third Emmy nomination in 2004.

Fawcett was married to Lee Majors, star of television’s The Six Million Dollar Man, from 1973 to 1982, although the couple separated in 1979. During her marriage, she was known and credited in her roles as Farrah Fawcett-Majors.

From 1979 until 1997 Fawcett was involved romantically with actor Ryan O’Neal. The relationship produced a son, Redmond James Fawcett O’Neal, born January 30, 1985 in Los Angeles.[26] In April 2009, on probation for driving under the influence, Redmond was arrested for possession of narcotics while Fawcett was in the hospital.[citation needed] On June 22, 2009, The Los Angeles Times and Reuters reported that Ryan O’Neal had said that Fawcett had agreed to marry him as soon as she felt strong enough.

From 1997 to 1998, Fawcett had a relationship with Canadian filmmaker James Orr, writer and producer of the Disney feature film in which she co-starred with Chevy Chase and Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Man of the House. The relationship ended when Orr was charged with and later convicted of beating Fawcett during a 1998 fight between the two.

On June 5, 1997, Fawcett received negative commentary after giving a rambling interview and appearing distracted on Late Show with David Letterman. Months later, she told the host of The Howard Stern Show her behavior was just her way of joking around with the television host, partly in the guise of promoting her Playboy pictoral and video, explaining what appeared to be random looks across the theater was just her looking and reacting to fans in the audience. Though the Letterman appearance spawned speculation and several jokes at her expense, she returned to the show a week later, with success, and several years later, after Joaquin Phoenix’s mumbling act on a February 2009 appearance on The Late Show, Letterman wrapped up the interview by saying, I’m sorry you couldn’t be here tonight and recalled Fawcett’s earlier appearance by noting we owe an apology to Farrah Fawcett.

Fawcett’s elder sister, Diane Fawcett Walls, died from lung cancer just before her 63rd birthday, on October 16, 2001.[33] The fifth episode of her 2005 Chasing Farrah series followed the actress home to Texas to visit with her father, James, and mother, Pauline. Pauline Fawcett died soon after, on March 4, 2005, at the age of 91.

Fawcett was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006, and began treatment, including chemotherapy and surgery. Four months later, on her 60th birthday, the Associated Press wire service reported that Fawcett was, at that point, cancer free.

Less than four months later, in May 2007, Fawcett brought a small digital video camera to document a doctor’s office visit. There, she was told a malignant polyp was found where she had been treated for the initial cancer. Doctors contemplated whether to implant a radiation seeder (which differs from conventional radiation and is used to treat other types of cancer). Fawcett’s U.S. doctors told her that she would require a colostomy. Instead, Fawcett traveled to Germany for treatments described variously in the press as holistic aggressive and alternative. There, Dr. Ursula Jacob prescribed a treatment including surgery to remove the anal tumor, and a course of perfusion and embolization for her liver cancer by Doctors Claus Kiehling and Thomas Vogl in Germany, and chemotherapy back in Fawcett’s home town of Los Angeles. Although initially the tumors were regressing, their reappearance a few months later necessitated a new course, this time including laser ablation therapy and chemoembolization. Aided by friend Alana Stewart, Fawcett documented her battle with the disease.

In early April 2009, Fawcett, back in the United States, was hospitalized, with media reports declaring her unconscious and in critical condition, although subsequent reports indicated her condition was not so dire. On April 6, the Associated Press reported that her cancer had metastasized to her liver, a development Fawcett had learned of in May 2007 and which her subsequent treatments in Germany had targeted. The report denied that she was unconscious, and explained that the hospitalization was due not to her cancer but a painful abdominal hematoma that had been the result of a minor procedure. Her spokesperson emphasized she was not at death’s door adding – She remains in good spirits with her usual sense of humor … She’s been in great shape her whole life and has an incredible resolve and an incredible resilience. Fawcett was released from the hospital on April 9, picked up by longtime companion O’Neal, and, according to her doctor, was walking and in great spirits and looking forward to celebrating Easter at home.

A month later, on May 7, Fawcett was reported as critically ill, with Ryan O’Neal quoted as saying she now spends her days at home, on an IV, often asleep. The Los Angeles Times reported Fawcett was in the last stages of her cancer and had the chance to see her son Redmond in April 2009, although shackled and under supervision, as he was then incarcerated. Her 91-year-old father, James Fawcett, flew out to Los Angeles to visit.

The cancer specialist that was treating Fawcett in L.A., Dr. Lawrence Piro, and Fawcett’s friend and Angels co-star Kate Jackson – a breast cancer survivor – appeared together on The Today Show dispelling tabloid-fueled rumors, including suggestions Fawcett had ever been in a coma, had ever reached 86 pounds, and had ever given up her fight against the disease or lost the will to live. Jackson decried such fabrications, saying they really do hurt a human being and a person like Farrah. Piro recalled when it became necessary for Fawcett to undergo treatments that would cause her to lose her hair, acknowledging Farrah probably has the most famous hair in the world but also that it is not a trivial matter for any cancer patient, whose hair affects [one’s] whole sense of who [they] are. Of the documentary, Jackson averred Fawcett didn’t do this to show that ‘she’ is unique, she did it to show that we are all unique … This was … meant to be a gift to others to help and inspire them.

The two-hour documentary Farrah’s Story, which was filmed by Fawcett and friend Alana Stewart, aired on NBC on May 15, 2009.[47] The documentary was watched by nearly nine million people at its premiere airing, and it was re-aired on the broadcast network’s cable stations MSNBC, Bravo and Oxygen. Fawcett earned her fourth Emmy nomination posthumously on July 16, 2009, as producer of Farrah’s Story.

Controversy surrounded the aired version of the documentary, with her initial producing partner, who had worked with her four years earlier on her reality series Chasing Farrah, alleging O’Neal’s and Stewart’s editing of the program was not in keeping with Fawcett’s wishes to more thoroughly explore rare types of cancers such as her own and alternative methods of treatment. He was especially critical of scenes showing Fawcett’s son visiting her for the last time, in shackles, while she was nearly unconscious in bed. Fawcett had generally kept her son out of the media, and his appearances were minimal in Chasing Farrah.

Fawcett died at approximately 9:28 am, PDT on June 25, 2009, in the intensive care unit of Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, California, with O’Neal and Stewart by her side. A private funeral was held in Los Angeles on June 30. Fawcett’s son Redmond was permitted to leave his California detention center to attend his mother’s funeral, where he gave the first reading.

The night of her death, ABC aired an hour-long special episode of 20/20 featuring clips from several of Barbara Walters’ past interviews with Fawcett as well as new interviews with Ryan O’Neal, Jaclyn Smith, Alana Stewart, and Dr. Lawrence Piro. Walters followed up on the story on Friday’s episode of 20/20. CNN’s Larry King Live planned a show exclusively about Fawcett that evening until the death of Michael Jackson several hours later caused the program to shift to cover both stories. Cher, a longtime friend of Fawcett, and Suzanne de Passe, executive producer of Fawcett’s Small Sacrifices mini-series, both paid tribute to Fawcett on the program. NBC aired a Dateline NBC special Farrah Fawcett: The Life and Death of an Angel; the following evening, June 26, preceded by a rebroadcast of Farrah’s Story in prime time. That weekend and the following week, television tributes continued. MSNBC aired back-to-back episodes of its Headliners and Legends episodes featuring Fawcett and Jackson. TV Land aired a mini-marathon of Charlie’s Angels and Chasing Farrah episodes. E! aired Michael and Farrah: Lost Icons and the The Biography Channel aired Bio Remembers: Farrah Fawcett. The documentary Farrah’s Story re-aired on the Oxygen Network and MSNBC.

Larry King said of the Fawcett phenomenon, TV had much more impact back in the ’70s than it does today. Charlie’s Angels got huge numbers every week – nothing really dominates the television landscape like that today. Maybe American Idol comes close, but now there are so many channels and so many more shows it’s hard for anything to get the audience, or amount of attention, that Charlie’s Angels got. Farrah was a major TV star when the medium was clearly dominant.

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner said Farrah was one of the iconic beauties of our time. Her girl-next-door charm combined with stunning looks made her a star on film, TV and the printed page.

Kate Jackson said, She was a selfless person who loved her family and friends with all her heart, and what a big heart it was. Farrah showed immense courage and grace throughout her illness and was an inspiration to those around her… I will remember her kindness, her cutting dry wit and, of course, her beautiful smile…when you think of Farrah, remember her smiling because that is exactly how she wanted to be remembered: smiling.

She is buried at the Westwood Village Memorial Park in Los Angeles.

The red one-piece bathing suit worn by Farrah in her famous 1976 poster was donated to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History (NMAH) on February 2, 2011.[65] Said to have been purchased at a Saks Fifth Avenue store, the red Lycra suit made by the leading Australian swimsuit company Speedo, was donated to the Smithsonian by her executors and was formally presented to NMAH in Washington D.C. by her longtime companion Ryan O’Neal.[66] The suit and the poster are expected to go on temporary display sometime in 2011–12. They will be made additions to the Smithsonian’s popular culture department.

The famous poster of Farrah in a red swimsuit has been produced as a Barbie doll. The limited edition dolls, complete with a gold chain and the girl-next-door locks, have been snapped up by Barbie fans.

In 2011, Men’s Health named her one of the 100 Hottest Women of All-Time ranking her at No. 31

Nazi Hunter Serge Klarsfeld receives top French award | News | DW

France’s most famous Nazi hunter, Serge Klarsfeld was awarded the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor in a ceremony led by French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday.

Klarsfeld, 83, received France’s highest award, while his wife the 79-year-old Beate Klarsfeld received the National Order of Merit having already been awarded the Legion of Honor in 2014.

The Chief Rabbi of France Haim Korsia was among those who attended the ceremony at the Elysee Palace. The event was limited to family and close friends and associates.

Serge Klarsfeld was born September 17, 1935, in the Romanian capital of Bucharest. He escaped the Holocaust after his family moved to France but witnessed his father being taken away to die in the Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz.

He became a naturalized French citizen in 1950, and 10 years later, while studying at the prestigious Science-Po University in Paris, he met Beate Kuenzel, the daughter of a former German soldier, on a metro platform.

Found their calling

Serge and Beate decided to bring fugitive Nazis to justice together, a mission they pursued for more than half a century.

“Neither could have succeeded without the other,” their daughter Lida once said.

One of their most high-profile cases involved the capture of the notorious Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie, a former Gestapo officer known as the “Butcher of Lyon.”

In 1971, the Klarsfelds revealed that Barbie was living in Bolivia. In 1983 he was extradited to France where four years later he was convicted in a trial, and later died behind bars.

Serge and Beate Klarsfeld found Klaus Barbie hiding in Bolivia

They also pursued members of France’s Vichy regime who collaborated with the Nazis. Officials included Rene Bouquet, Jean Leguay and Marice Papon, despite obstruction from former President Francois Mitterrand.

It was Mitterrand’s successor Jacques Chirac who finally recognized France’s role in the deportations, a declaration Serge Klarsfeld said owed much to his and Beate’s campaigning.

The men who led Nazi Germany

Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945)

As Hitler’s Propaganda Minister, the virulently anti-Semitic Goebbels was responsible for making sure a single, iron-clad Nazi message reached every citizen of the Third Reich. He strangled freedom of the press, controlled all media, arts, and information, and pushed Hitler to declare “Total War.” He and his wife committed suicide in 1945, after poisoning their six children.

The men who led Nazi Germany

Adolf Hitler (1889-1945)

The leader of the German National Socialist Workers’ Party (Nazi) developed his anti-Semitic, anti-communist and racist ideology well before coming to power as Chancellor in 1933. He undermined political institutions to transform Germany into a totalitarian state. From 1939 to 1945, he led Germany in World War II while overseeing the Holocaust. He committed suicide in April 1945.

The men who led Nazi Germany

Heinrich Himmler (1900-1945)

As leader of the Nazi paramilitary SS (“Schutzstaffel”), Himmler was one of the Nazi party members most directly responsible for the Holocaust. He also served as Chief of Police and Minister of the Interior, thereby controlling all of the Third Reich’s security forces. He oversaw the construction and operations of all extermination camps, in which more than 6 million Jews were murdered.

The men who led Nazi Germany

Rudolf Hess (1894-1987)

Hess joined the Nazi party in 1920 and took part in the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, a failed Nazi attempt to gain power. While in prison, he helped Hitler write “Mein Kampf.” Hess flew to Scotland in 1941 to attempt a peace negotiation, where he was arrested and held until the war’s end. In 1946, he stood trial in Nuremberg and was sentenced to life in prison, where he died.

The men who led Nazi Germany

Adolf Eichmann (1906-1962)

Alongside Himmler, Eichmann was one of the chief organizers of the Holocaust. As an SS Lieutenant colonel, he managed the mass deportations of Jews to Nazi extermination camps in Eastern Europe. After Germany’s defeat, Eichmann fled to Austria and then to Argentina, where he was captured by the Israeli Mossad in 1960. Tried and found guilty of crimes against humanity, he was executed in 1962.

The men who led Nazi Germany

Hermann Göring (1893-1946)

A participant in the failed Beer Hall Putsch, Göring became the second-most powerful man in Germany once the Nazis took power. He founded the Gestapo, the Secret State Police, and served as Luftwaffe commander until just before the war’s end, though he increasingly lost favor with Hitler. Göring was sentenced to death at Nuremberg but committed suicide the night before it was enacted.

Sexy Farrah Fawcett Barbie by Donna Brinkley.

The most beautiful women in TV and Movie History now become Barbie Collector Dolls created by acclaimed re-paint Artist Donna Brinkley.

The series ultimately ran for five seasons. As part of a settlement to a lawsuit over her early departure, Fawcett returned for six guest appearances over seasons three and four of the series.

Playboy founder Hugh Hefner said Farrah was one of the iconic beauties of our time. Her girl-next-door charm combined with stunning looks made her a star on film, TV and the printed page.

She is buried at the Westwood Village Memorial Park in Los Angeles.

In 2011, Men’s Health named her one of the 100 Hottest Women of All-Time ranking her at No. 31
