Actor Ryan O'Neal has told People magazine that his companion Farrah Fawcett, who has battled cancer for nearly three years, is now bed-ridden, bereft of her famous blonde hair and near the end of medical treatment. “She stays in bed now. The doctors see that she is comfortable. Farrah is on IVs, but some of that is for nourishment. The treatment has pretty much ended,” O'Neal told People in an interview on the magazine's website on Thursday. Fawcett, 62, became famous after her role as one of a trio of female private detectives on the hit television show “Charlie's Angels.” She has stayed in the Hollywood spotlight ever since, and in September 2006 was diagnosed with anal cancer. O'Neal, himself a 1970s star and the father of Fawcett's son, Redmond O'Neal, has been Fawcett's on-again, off-again companion for many years. He said the Texas-born Fawcett has now lost all the tousled blonde hair that drew the attention of her legions of fans. O'Neal keeps her locks at his home. But O'Neal said Fawcett “hasn't had last rites yet. We're not there.” In fact, he said she still hopes for a “miracle” cure. “A last gasp,” O'Neal said.
