There's a very interesting story in LA Times this morning about Farrah Fawcett, and if you haven't seen, head here to check it out...

Essentially all based on an interview with then-LA Timesman, Charles Ornstein - held some time ago - and goes into considerable detail about her battle to unmask someone at the UCLA Medical Center who was selling her records to the National Enquirer.

And guess what? Far short of it being some sad sort of quixotic venture, Fawcett won! She found out that the leaks were in fact coming from UCLA and that the center, initially, did nothing about it, while trying to get her to donate millions to a foundation in her own name.

Here's a pull-out: "Fawcett said she decided to speak up about the ordeal because she wants to see the Enquirer charged criminally for inducing UCLA workers to invade her records. "They obviously know it's like buying stolen goods," she said. "They've committed a crime. They've paid her money."

"I'm a private person," she said in the interview. "I'm shy about people knowing things. And I'm really shy about my medical [care]. It would be good if I could just go and heal and then when I decided to go out, it would be OK.

"It seems that there are areas that should be off-limits."

Fascinating piece. Good for Fawcett.
