New York Post:
The self-promoting best friend of terminally ill Farrah Fawcett threatened to torpedo the Charlie's Angel's cancer documentary if the pal didn't get more cash, according to court papers.

It said she wanted "more" money and she was holding things up to get it. Sorry, $200,000 is a lot of money between "best friends" already. What I find very telling is this jump to do a sequel - that smells of wanting even more, more money all at the expense of a dying friend. I don't like it.

Getting paid $200 K, hardly a large sum after taxes.
Hanging out filming your dying friend for 2-3 years, priceless!
She deserves a medal.
Some how the motives here seem questionable. My heart goes out toFarrah.
Having worked for an indy film company, I can say this, it takes money to do a project right. You have to hire people, pay for rental of equipment, pay insurance, pay to edit if you do not own the equipment yourself, its not cheap. Nobody knows what she has spent, whtat she still owes on this. Only Alana would know this. Before you all attack her for greed, look to see what else might be going on here. Also, nobody knows what she plans to do with that money once she has it, it might go to cancer research in Farrahs' honor. I won't attack either woman, I think this is a sad situation, and its a private situation and this won't have a happy ending. People are going to cry, lose a mother, step mother, partner, friend, lover. Let's let them deal with this in private shall we. Show some decorum people.
Some of you hit the nail on the head, it's business. From the headline, I thought that the best friend was asking for big time money. In the scheme of thing $200,000 is not big time money, especially after local, state, and federal taxes.
So? TV is a business. And although she wanted to do this for good reasons, why shouldn't she be paid for the work that she did and the potential ratings she'd bring in.
This whole documentary thing surprises me about Farrah. Hasn't she been an extremely private person in years past? I never read much about her personal life over the years. I really admire the thought behind this, but I'm wondering about Ryan and Alana's motives here.
When it comes down to money, you know that it's not about friendship anymore.
Pity.
What a shame. Am sorry to read this article and sad for Farrah. This is her best friend?
How much more money does this woman need, the ex wife of both George Hamilton and Rod Stewart.
She must have cleaned them both out. Well, it takes all kinds.
Aside, I do remember when both Alana and her ex at that time, George, once had a TV show. It was rather good and was sorry to see it taken off the air.
A sequel? hmmmm....I
Vegas...I agree...I seem to believe that Farrah herself wanted this first docu made... and frankly, as a woman who just completed horrid chemo and 6 weeks of radiation for an aggressive cancer...F
I want what was beautiful to stay that way...and not turn into a circus...
I endured the first round. Do I want to sit through another. I think not. It's all so heart breaking. The second go is definitely exploitative. This is probably the most attention Ryan O' Neal has gotten since Love Story.
Anyone else reminded of vultures after reading this?
Her bones are being picked while she's still breathing.
This article was disgusting! Not the pictures, but what they sell as so-called treatments here. All I can say is watch this video and never go to the "hospitals" in this country ever again: http://bit
Well, you asked for it. Inside Edition is reporting that they're working on Part 2 of Farrah.
sorry, but $200K is not a "hefty payday," especially for these people.
considering that stewart was the one who filmed practically everything, i would have to say that she deserved the 100k over the other guy.
