Family, Friends Respond to Farrah Fawcett's Missing 'Memoriam' Mention

No Farrah in the memorial. They have a whole lot of 'splaining to do."

No explanation is necessary, says Unger. "No matter how carefully and how conscientiously people address who is included, there are people who just simply can't be," she tells E! News. "In any given year there will always be some people that other people think should have been included and that there's more justification for one person versus another. It is impossible to include everybody."

Bea Arthur and Ed McMahon, performers known primarily for their work on TV, were also notably absent from the montage.

I can see why are world is screwed up when they mention a person like Michael Jackson and not Farrah.

By ironworkerway

I agree the world is messed up when idiots would actually think we should have a moment of silence in congress for a child mollester who should have been convicted if there parents would not have sold out and his money got him out of the rest. watch out there will be a holiday in his honor next.
Farrah done more for the world than he ever did. especially for abuse awareness and and sheer beauty NATURAL BEAUTY

By jackie

I'am so sorry farrah wasn't included I felt she should have been but also if we are going to talk about people we didn't personally know, alot of people would say farrah loved to take it up the rear since that's what did her in, be very careful when you talk about people you know nothing about, michael jackson was an outstanding perfomer and deserved to be aknowledged as well as farrah.

By Vic

Has Michael ever been found guilty of any crime? That's right the answer is NO. Let the man R.I.P. He was one of if not the greatest entertainer that has ever lived and a loving caring person who give million apon millions to childrens charities. What have you nit wits ever done for anyone.

As for Farrah, it is an incredible mistake by the Academy to have left her out. She truly was one of the most beautiful people in life. I lost a lot of respect for the powers to be to have not included this wonderful woman. Shame on you Ms. Unger.

yeah!! that was plain ass ignorant of the oscars not to mention farrah.. what a bunch of dumb asses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By Lee

Yes, that goes to show just how queer and screwed up those hollywood idiots are...

By leolux10

Oh, get over the silly, unsubstantiated allegations already. Micheal Jackson was NOT convicted, and he out-classes Farrah Fawcett in the entertainment industry, by far. Not stating that she didn't deserve a spot, but some of you people actually believe that M.J. didn't, based on your unverified beliefs. I'd say that's pretty "ignorant", and "screwed-up", as someone else said.

In a memoriam, such as this, NO ONE should be left out. Period! Just as they read-out each name of the 9/11 victims, they could've at least tried to "remember" everyone relevant to the program. Shame on them.

R.I.P. to all those lost. Entertainment, or otherwise. We'd all want that much.

I hate MJ but he did do the 'wiz' and sang the title song for 'ben'

By elyse

Farrah Fawcett should have been mentioned but my questions is, WHY WAS MICHAEL JACKSON? Yes, he was probably the biggest star that died BUT what does he have to do with film or the Academy Awards?

By B.Cox

Yes, we love Farrah and yes, she was a superb actress...but, Michael just released his rehearsal film to the world,which did very well at the box office and he also made the film 'The Wiz" with Diana Ross which was well received...so, there you go... Michael over Farrah...

By Pat

No- NOT Michael over Farrah. For heaven's sake. This is a tribute to actors/actresses and films. Farrah contributed to this industry consistently over the years and was an Icon.

The first poster had it right. Michael belongs in the Grammy memorial tribute and NOT this one. Farrah's omission was an injustice.

By DIVA013

a film called "BEN" he was nominated and may have won the academy award for it.

By keshiadwms

the point is this: yes farrah should've been included. i don't think that getting all in a tizzy about michael jackson means much of anything. you could tell by the reaction of the audience that there were plenty of other people who were mentioned that drew blanks in their minds. i say, they should've just made it a tad bit longer and included farrah, bea, and ed. i just think that the fact that they were part of the slew of deaths in 2009 was enough for mention if nothing else was.

if u know anything you would know that Michael Jackson was nominated for a Oscar for best song for "ben" thats y he was mentioned.duh.

By Andre

I also do not understand why they included Micheal Jackson too, but either you are 20 years old or younger, or just a nit wit since he DID have one film to his credit. Have you not heard of "The Wiz"?
Duh!

By DGar

The Wiz??? Well received?? Are you serious?? Have you watched it? That has got to be the WORST movie ever made!
