Bea Arthur and Farrah Fawcett Snubbed at Oscars

03/08/2010- by Natasia Langfelder

Beloved Golden Girl and Gay Icon Bea Arthur was excluded from the annual Oscar “In Memoriam” montage last night. Farrah Fawcett, who suffered a very public battle with cancer, was also excluded from the montage, which covers all of the Hollywood Royalty who has passed away in the past year. The ladies were both primarily known for their television careers. However, they have had parts in movies in the span of their long and successful careers.

The montage includes those who have passed away from all walks of the entertainment industry, from actors to writers, to producers and sound specialists. This year, the montage opened with Patrick Swayze and closed with Michael Jackson. Perez Hilton points out that Jackson was included, having, arguably, as much movie experience as Fawcett and Arthur. As a child of the nineties, Fawcett’s role in “Man of the House” with Chevy Chase and Jonathan Taylor Thomas, has a special place in my heart. UPDATE: Roger Ebert tweeted that Fawcett’s absence from the memoriam reel was a “major fail”!

If you would like to remind yourself of the great work of these two ladies, check out their IMDB pages.
