Farrah Fawcett cashes in on documentary following her treatment for cancer

70′s pinup actress Farrah Fawcett has turned her harrowing heath crisis into a documentary that will definitely help pay the medical bills. Fawcett who is battling with anal cancer worked a financial deal with “Entertainment Tonight” earlier this year where the show followed her around to treatments and showed Fawcett’s friends videotaping her ordeal. And on top of the ET deal, the footage shot by Fawcett’s pals is being sold to NBC for “over $2 million,” according to a NY Post source. Craig Nevius, the documentary’s producer, said, “We are negotiating with one of the big three networks, but no deal has been signed yet.” Presumably, footage would air on both “Today” and “Dateline.”  Should be interesting material.  Farrah underwent experimental treatments for cancer on the advice of friend Cher, including targeted chemotherapy in Germany that is not yet available in the US.
