Farrah's Friends

Alana Stewart rushes to cash in with book about her friend Farrah Fawcett
Who will be the first to cash in on the death of FARRAH FAWCETT? Less than a week after the brave icon's funeral, her close friend Alana Stewart is first out of the gate and well ahead of the pack with a book based on the Farrah's cancer journey journal that was supposed to be the basis for her cancer documentary."My Journey with Farrah: What I've Learned about Life, Love, and Friendship" has shown up on Amazon.com with a healthy discount off its hardcover list price of $23.99.As . the celebrity ex-wife's book is being rush-released to take advantage of the worldwide outpouring of love and publicity for Farrah.The title is set to be pblished on August 25th, the two-month anniversary of Farrah's death. Alana Stewart accompanied Farrah through much of her cancer battle, traveling with her to German cancer clinics and running the video camera as Farrah documented the cutting edge treatments that gave her hope and extended her life by years after doctors in the States told her there was nothing more they could do. Working with her longtime confidante and producer Craig Nevius, Farrah shaped the footage into a "cancer journal" that explored the question of why lifesaving treataments are not available in America and beyond the reach of most all but the very rich.Farrah sold the project to NBC. When her condition took a turn for the worse and she began to fade from consciousness, her longtime on-and-off lover Ryan O'Neal took control of her affairs, forced Nevius off the project and, with the help of producers from NBC Dateline commandeered the recutting of the documentary into a maudlin, morbid entertainment called "Farrah's Story" (a reference to his 1970 film, Love Story).Alana Stewart reportedly held up the project, demanding a producer's credit and a fat payoff, before the special aired. the day before Farrah's death that Alana was turning Farrah's journals into a book of her own:"Farrah's journals, we're told, are being turned into a book by Alana Stewart... The book, we're told, will be announced after Farrah's passing, 'for maximum effect.'"At the reception following Farrah's funeral on Tuesday, Ryan O'Neal confirmed that a sequel to the high-rating Farrah's Story is in the works. Cameras filmed the funeral. It's still not known whether, as feared, O'Neal also filmed Farrah's passing.

I love you Farrah darling and miss you alot and this is very sad that you are still being used by people who had only the purpose of using you for money. This is one of many reasons why I am publishing this article today because I am hurt over the way you are being treated and remembered. I wish you were still living Farrah and got to know me personally because I never would have treated you this way your friends have done to you. You would have lived your life with me and allways be treated very good and I would have looked out for you and taken care of your needs. I am hurt over you being used and abused by these people and so i have to add my feelings to this today.
