I watched the TV special last night about Ms. Fawcett's losing fight with cancer. That looked unbelievably painful and gutwrenching. Not only do I feel for her but her son and Ryan O'Neal as well.
I liked Farrah despite the Burning Bed and her occasional craziness. She seemed to be trying more to build/continue a career than push an agenda.
Unfortunately, "The Burning Bed" helped many women get away with murder. Feminists framed reportedly abusive men as deserving to die without benefit of a judge or jury.

Was this issue as well known back in 1984? I don't recall and I didn't see the movie.
I do recall having all thoughts and fantasies of lust and infidelity erased from my mind in 1987 when I saw "Fatal Attraction".
