Farrah Fawcett never got to marry the love of her life before dying Thursday morning. Actor Ryan O’Neal told ABC’s 20/20 host Barbara Walters that he planned to marry the Charlie’s Angels icon, who was bedridden in a Santa Monica, Calif. hospital from a battle with cancer, when she was well enough to say “yes”.

But the 62-year-old Emmy Award winner and former Hollywood sex symbol’s condition never improved enough to speak, and so Farrah never married twice-wed Ryan. In fact, O’Neal revealed to Walters that Fawcett mistook him for their 24-year-old son, Redmond, who actually had a temporary release from prison to visit his dying mother att. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif.
After her nine-year marriage to Six Million Dollar Man Lee Majors failed in 1982, Fawcett and O’Neal began dating and she gave birth to Redmond in 1985. O’Neal, who starred in 1984 divorce movie Irreconcilable Differences, had two failed marriages in the 1960s and 1970s.

The couple went their separate ways in 1997 and reunited in 2001, five years before Fawcett was diagnosed with anal cancer.

Farrah died before Ryan, 68, could make the ultimate expression of his love by marrying her.
This is a sad lesson for men who hesitate to walk down the aisle with the woman who’s stuck by them and maybe even bore children. So stop procrastinating and make your loyal lady an honest woman.
