Dec. 6 auction in Dallas features a wide array of mementos from Farrah's long and storied Hollywood career; 1977 People's Choice Award, scripts; costumes from films, last driver's license, passport; consigned by her nephew, Gregory Walls, of Houston, TX

DALLAS — A multiple-lot offering from The Personal Property of Farrah Fawcett, including scripts, awards, costumes and personal mementos from Farrah's storied career, will draw the eyes of collectors to Heritage Auctions' Dec. 6 Entertainment & Music Memorabilia Signature Auction.

"Although Farrah is known as a cultural icon, to me she was a down-home Texas girl who was amazingly generous, fiercely loyal, and unbelievably supportive of her family and friends," said Fawcett's nephew, Gregory S. Walls, who consigned the property to auction. "Even though she was always the biggest star in the room, she made you feel as though you were the most important person in the world.

Walls relates that the decision to auction some of Farrah's things came from the continued outpouring of love from her fans and admirers. "

"Since her passing four years ago, we've received many requests from fans all over the world, of various ages and generations, for something personal of hers," he said. "Farrah was always grateful for her legion of loyal fans, and this seemed the most natural way to give something back to them. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the foundation she created before her untimely death. The mission of the Farrah Fawcett Foundation is to provide funding for cutting edge cancer research, prevention and to help those struggling with cancer today."

Farrah Fawcett was indeed one of the great female superstars of the 1970s and 1980s, from her iconic red bathing suit poster — that famous bathing suit, by the way, was donated by Mr. Walls on the first anniversary of Farrah's passing to The Smithsonian, where it now resides — to her breakout role in "Charlie's Angels," she epitomized the '70s era.

Against conventional wisdom, Farrah went from poster girl to highly acclaimed actress by taking on challenging roles in films such as The Burning Bed, Extremities and Poor Little Rich Girl. Not only did these roles garner her multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, they also solidified her status as a highly respected actress of her time.

"Though Farrah Fawcett will forever be associated with the 1970s and that famous, famous hairdo of hers, she remains a beloved, respected, instantly recognizable Hollywood star just as much today," said Margaret Barrett, Director of Entertainment & Music Auctions at Heritage. "With the wide range of the material in the auction that Farrah herself owned, collectors of every level and type will find something of interest that was hers."
