Academy Apologizes for Farrah Fawcett Snub
It was no oversight. The executive director of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has apologized to the friends, family and fans of Farrah Fawcett, who was conspicuously omitted from Sunday night’s Oscar-event tribute to Hollywood personalities who had died over the past year.
While some agents and publicists, besides actors, were included in the memorial, Fawcett, a high-profile star better known for her TV work (and yet still appeared on the big screen), was not. Neither was Gene Barry – who was seen in both versions of War of the Worlds – or Bea Arthur.
Among those for its selective omissions were critic Roger Ebert and Oscar-winner Jane Fonda.
In response, the Academy’s Bruce Davis, who was responsible for the “in memoriam” segment (and has been since the tradition began in 1993), said late Tuesday: “There’s nothing you can say to people, particularly to family members, within a day or two of the show that helps at all. They tend to be surprised and hurt, and we understand that and we’re sorry for it.”

The crowd in the sold-out showroom applauded her throughout the 90-minute show, giving her a standing ovation when brother Donny said, “I think we need to give a big round of applause for my sister for even coming on stage.”
