Ryan O’Neal looks to be grieving as he steps out of his Los Angeles, California home that he once shared with the beautiful Farrah Fawcett.

Farrah who is best know for her role on Charlie’s Angels, her feathered hair, and that infamous red swimsuit poster, lost her battle with cancer a year ago today at the age of 62.

In a new interview with Out Magazine, Tori Spelling says Farrah Fawcett contacted her from the afterlife.

“It was pretty surreal,” Spelling says. “We were neighbors for years. She basically wanted me to give a message to [Fawcett's son] Redmond and to her family and she was doing these very specific call-outs for things that they would understand.”

The incident occurred over the phone with TV psychic John Edward.

“He offered to do a reading with me and I was hoping I would talk to my dad. I’d lost a best friend a long time ago and I was hoping he would come through. And then, all of a sudden, [he said] Farrah Fawcett’s coming through,” Spelling says.

It’s worth noting this supernatural claim comes during the promotional blitz for Spelling’s new book, ‘Uncharted TerriTORI.’ The Huffington Post goes one further: “Tori Spelling is pulling out all the stops to draw attention to her new book.”But Spelling seems to harbor no doubt about the incident. “If it had been some psychic that I’d walked in off the street for five bucks it would have been different. But it came through John Edward,” she says. “He’s a medium, so he channels people. I’ve been to regular psychics that turn over cards, tarot cards, and sort of read your future, that type of thing. But, with him, literally people just come to him and say things that they want the person to hear.” Spelling says she and husband Dean McDermott contacted Dean’s deceased parents together. “They were coming through and they were saying things that literally only Dean would know, that I had no idea about. So, I don’t know, I believe in all of that.”Though she’s a complete believer in mysticism, Spelling doesn’t understand why Fawcett spoke to her. “I can’t believe she came through to me — the most nonconfrontational person in the world. What am I supposed to do with this information? I’ve actually written a letter to [her partner and actor] Ryan O’Neal and explained to him in the letter everything that happened. I said, if none of this makes sense, please don’t think I’m crazy, this literally happened. I’m just passing on information but it was pretty bizarre at the time.”

Ryan O’Neal says he can’t believe the decision by the Academy Awards to omit Farrah Fawcett from the “In Memoriam” segment of Sunday’s show.

“It was a terrible decision and very hurtful,” O’Neal tells Radar Online. “Farrah was a member of the Academy for over 40 years and we could not believe she did not get a mention.” Patrick Swayze, Michael Jackson and Brittany Murphy were included in the segment.

O’Neal says he watched the show with daughter Tatum, and they plan to protest. “Both Tatum and I were very upset and we intend to write a letter to the Academy to try and get an explanation for this oversight on their behalf.”

Leslie Unger, a rep for the Academy, tells Radar that “unfortunately we don’t include everyone.” She told E!, it was “not an oversight.”

Farrah Fawcett’s longtime partner, Ryan O’Neal, has joined other Hollywood figures including Jane Fonda and Roger Ebert in expressing dismay that Fawcett was left out of the “In Memoriam” segment of Sunday’s Academy Awards.

“There is no comment other than we were disappointed that she was not included,” a rep for O’Neal tells People.

Fonda and Ebert both Tweeted about the snub during the broadcast. “No Farrah Fawcett in the memorial tribute? Major fail,” Ebert wrote. “And where was Farrah Fawcett? She should have been included #oscars #FAIL,” wrote Fonda.

The “In Memoriam” portion of the broadcast features a montage of film-industry figures who have passed away in the previous year. Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences spokeswoman Leslie Unger says the segment can only honor so many people.

“Every year it’s an unfortunate reality that we can’t include everybody,” she tells the Associated Press.

Even before the show, Academy executive director Bruce Davis spoke about the difficult process of creating the segment. “It is the single most troubling element of the Oscar show every year,” he told AP last week. “Because more people die each year than can possibly be included in that segment.”

Davis explained that he and a small committee narrow an initial list of more than 100 people down to about 30. “It gets close to agonizing by the end,” he said. “You are dropping people who the public knows. It’s just not comfortable.”

Fawcett, who died last June at age 62, was primarily a TV actress, though she did appear in a number of feature films.

The Oscar’s 2010 ‘In Memoriam’ montage flipped through the stars we lost this past year very quickly, so quick that if you blinked you might have missed someone. So did we all blink at the same time when the tribute to Farrah Fawcett, who died last June of cancer at the age of 62, hit the screen? Unfortunately, no.

Looks like Farrah was forgotten on this year’s tribute, but she wasn’t the only star who was noticeably absent.

While Farrah may have been most widely known for her role on the television series Charlie’s Angels, she also stared in big screen films such as Man of the House and Cannonball Run. So, her absence from the memoriam was most likely an accident.

Also forgotten from the tribute was actress, comedian and singer Bea Arthur who passed away in April at the age of 86. She also was most widely known for her role as Dorothy on The Golden Girls, but also starred in films such as Mame, opposite Lucille Ball.

Three times nominated for her acting, though never a winner, Farrah Fawcett received her fourth Emmy nod posthumously on Thursday, as an executive producer of Farrah’s Story, the May 15 NBC special that tracked the three-year cancer battle that eventually claimed her life on June 25.

Fawcett, 62, was best known for her portrayal of Jill Munroe on Charlie’s Angels, though she only remained with the show its first season, 1976-77. Her acting nominations were for roles in The Burning Bed (1984), Small Sacrifices (1989) and The Guardian (2004).

In a statement Thursday, Fawcett’s longtime companion, Ryan O’Neal said, “For the Television Academy to recognize Farrah’s Story with this nomination is such a wonderful acknowledgment for Farrah and her legacy. I know that she is smiling that fabulous smile right now in heaven, and that she is grateful that the show has been so well received not only by her peers in the industry but by the public at large.”

“Please take care of my boy – make sure he has a good life.”

Those were Farrah Fawcett’s heartbreaking last words to her longtime love Ryan O’Neal before she slipped into a coma and lost her valiant battle with cancer, sources exclusively told The Enquirer.

A sobbing Ryan answered her deathbed plea by vowing to look after the couple’s troubled 24-year-old son Redmond.

As she lay dying, the 62-year-old Charlie’s Angels star was not told that her beloved “Red” was behind bars for drug offenses, insiders say.

A heavily sedated Farrah “mistook Ryan for Red a number of times in her final days, and she was so out of it that she barely knew what was happening in the end,” said the friend.

“She didn’t realize Red was in jail, which was a blessing in some ways. If she’d known, she would have been distraught.”

“Farrah would never marry Ryan. She wanted everything to be left to Red – that’s always been her wish,” said the friend.

“Before she lost her ability to speak, her last words to Ryan were, ‘Please take care of my boy – please make sure he has a good life.’ Farrah felt guilt for not always being there for Red.

“She regretted the time apart from the true love of her life – her son. Redmond felt guilty, too, because he felt that he’d failed her as a son.

“When he was allowed out of jail to visit her at home in April, Farrah was so heavily sedated on morphine that she didn’t even realize he was wearing shackles.”‘
