Both Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett will be featured on the cover of the September issue of Vanity Fair, with Fawcett gracing half of the covers and Jackson featured on the remaining 50%.
The issue will be hitting newsstands on August 11th, but excerpts from both features have been released to the press. The articles touch on key themes from the two late superstars’ lives, pieced together through quotations from friends and old sound bites from the celebs themselves.
Check out what Farrah’s friends and family had to say about the late Charlie’s Angels star:
Love
About her relationship with longtime companion Ryan O’Neal: “She’s always been the real love of his life and he’s always been the real love of her life. She never stopped loving him.” ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ BFF Alana Stewart
Fame
About that 1970s’ hair: “She said, ‘I can’t see to the right or left, and that way I don’t have to see people looking at me.’ ” ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ O’Neal recounting Fawcett’s response when he asked
Career
“Careers have to be very carefully plotted, but she was not driven by that singular focus on the next step and the next step.” ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ Leonard Goldberg, who co-produced Charlie’s Angels, which Fawcett left after one season
Odd behavior
On her appearance with David Letterman in which she sounded incoherent: “I was the pothead; she’s one of those people who flossed every night and took care of herself. When I saw her on Letterman, I thought she was acting. She was selling Playboy magazine, and she thought she was being Playmate-ish.” ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ O’Neal
Family
On O’Neal’s “devotion” to Fawcett: “My dad’s only goal was to make sure he would be in the will. It was so disgustingly transparent as soon as she found out she was terminal. I consider him a vulture presiding over a carcass.” ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ Griffin O’Neal
“I hate him! He knows I have money. I made a tremendous amount of money on real estate, more than I deserve.” ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ Ryan O’Neal’s response
And as far as the article about Michael Jackson, it mimics the same content as Farrah’s:
Love
“No I don’t date, no. I like girls and everything, but [laughs] ├óΓé¼┬ª Oh, you think I’m one of those? No! I’m just not that interested right now.” ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ Jackson in February 1977
Fame
“And a lot of entertainers don’t know this, but interviewers help entertainers 100%. I don’t mean promotion-wise; I mean like when they ask you questions, it helps you to look at your future yourself.” ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ Jackson in February 1977
Career
On the first mix of the Thriller album: “It was terrible. And I cried at the listening party. I said, ‘I’m sorry ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ we can’t release this.’ ├óΓé¼┬ª Everybody at the record company was screaming that we had to have it out and there was a deadline. ├óΓé¼┬ª So we re-did a mix a day. ├óΓé¼┬ª We were overworked, but it all came out OK.” ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ Jackson in 1984
Odd behavior
On his plastic surgeries: “You know, many stars do that, but the press picks on certain people. I think if more people could afford it, they’d do it, too. I see nothing wrong with it. You have to feel good about yourself.” ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ Sister Janet Jackson in October 1986
Family
On conflicts with family: “I’ve always tried to do everything first-class. Use people who are the best. But it was a different story with the family. And the fact that it was the biggest tour that ever happened, and my success had been so overwhelming, it’s as if they’re wanting to throw darts at you, too.” ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ Michael Jackson in 1984 after the Jacksons’ Victory Tour
