One memory of Farrah Fawcett.

I remember when Farrah, still relatively green as an actress, was a guest star on a short-lived CBS family drama called APPLE'S WAY (which starred Ronny Cox and was, if I'm remembering correctly, created by Earl Hamner, Jr. of THE WALTONS).

Her character was the "older woman" that Vincent Van Patten's teenage Apple had an infatuation with. Vincent's character argued that younger man/older woman relationships could work--pointing to the now-obscure movie LOVE AND PAIN AND THE WHOLE DAMN THING (co-starring Maggie Smith and Timothy Bottoms) as an example.

Farrah went to Ronny Cox and said, "I need your help"--then disappeared from the episode.

And it was up to Ronny to teach Vincent how to live with the pain of unrequited love.
