Farrah Fawcett’s Cancer Diary Is Missing

FARRAH Fawcett has died. And as the rule of celebrity death dictates, death just opens up a new chapter in their careers. Anorak’s Man in LA notices that Farrah Fawcett’s diaries are missing.

The valuable diaries written by Hollywood icon Farrah Fawcett during her transcontinental battle against cancer have mysterious gone missing, and accusations are flying about who made off with them.

Farrah, who died June 25th, had jotted her thoughts, experiences and artwork in the faux-leatherbound books over the two years she travelled back and forth to cancer clinics in Germany for the treatments that extended but ultimately failed to save her life from the disease that ravaged her since 2006.

The first of the blank-paged volumes was given to her by producer Craig Nevius in 2007 before her first trip to Germany. Nevius, who produced Farrah’s 2005 reality television series, was producing the documentary based on Farrah’s video diaries of her cancer fight.

One insider tells Tabloid Baby exclusively:

“Farrah wrote in them all the time. They were brown and looked like leather. You can get the book at stationery stores. It’s long and rectangle-shaped rather than perfectly square. You open it and it’s just empty pages. I saw her with it. Farrah would draw in it – write her thoughts and stuff like that.

“Apparently, it’s gone missing.”

This week, HarperCollins publishers announced the forthcoming publication of a related book by Alana Stewart, Farrah’s friend who accompanied her to Germany, helmed the video camera for the documentary, and later held out for a producer’s credit after the material was sold to NBC and recut under the stewardship of Farrah’s companion Ryan O’Neal.

According to the press release, the book My Journey with Farrah is a “tribute” in which “Stewart shares her personal diaries from her three years by Farrah’s side.”

“The scuttlebutt is that this book that Alana Stewart is writing – and you know she’s not really ‘writing’ it; she has a ghostwriter – contains Farrah’s words from her diary,” says the insider. “And Redmond is not very happy with Alana’s book coming out.”

Redmond is Redmond O’Neal, Farrah’s son with Ryan O’Neal, who’s currently jailed on drug charges. Redmond is presumably Farrah’s beneficiary and the owner of the missing diaries.

And so it goes…
