Cancer-stricken Charlie’s Angels star Farrah Fawcett is said to be in a “critical but stable condition” after being hospitalized in Los Angeles last Thursday.
The 62-year-old actress is battling intestinal cancer, which she was first diagnosed with in 2006. Her cancer went into remission, but returned in May 2007.
Farrah’s health has deteriorated since she returned from Germany, an source at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center-tells the Daily Record.
“On Farrah Fawcett’s behalf, I can confirm that she recently checked into a Los Angeles hospital,” the producer, Craig Nevius, says in a statement released to PEOPLE. “And although it is usually against her nature to correct false or exaggerated stories that originate in tabloid-style reports by offering true information that they would not otherwise have to publish, Farrah is allowing this statement out of appreciation for her fans, who have offered their constant support throughout her fight, as well as out of concern for the countless other cancer patients who have written her over the last two-and-a-half years in order to tell her that they are following her story in the hope that there is hope.”
Her longtime partner Ryan O’Neal, 67, is keeping a vigil at her bedside. The couple’s troubled son, Redmond O’Neal, 24, who had earlier joined his father at his mother’s bedside, was busted when he drove a friend to a detention facility in Santa Clarita, Calif., and guards found drugs on him at a checkpoint.
Farrah’s cancer struggle has been filmed for an upcoming NBC documentary, A Wing And A Prayer.
