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.

Ryan O’Neal says he has been so estranged from his daughter Tatum that he hit on her at Farrah Fawcett’s June funeral because he didn’t recognize her.

“I had just put the casket in the hearse and I was watching it drive away when a beautiful blonde woman comes up and embraces me,” Ryan tells the September issue of Vanity Fair. “I said to her, ‘You have a drink on you? You have a car?’ She said, ‘Daddy, it’s me–Tatum!’ I was just trying to be funny with a strange Swedish woman, and it’s my daughter. It’s so sick.”

Tatum says she wasn’t creeped out, either.

“That’s our relationship in a nutshell,” says the actress, who won an Oscar at age 10 for starring with her father in Paper Moon. “You make of it what you will. It had been a few years since we’d seen each other, and he was always a ladies’ man, a bon vivant.”

Tatum had struggled with addiction growing up and hadn’t spoken to her father in years. Penning her 2004 memoir A Paper Life didn’t help their relationship, either.

“She wrote a book–b***!” Ryan recalls thinking. “How dare she throw our laundry in the street for money!…

Tatum says her father “has every right to be angry about the book; no parent wants to hear their kid saying s**** things about them… But what I wrote in the book was true. I’ve got a battle with drugs, but I’m a strong, independent person, and I fight for myself, and my father and I butt heads.”

“When I was 16 years old, he and Farrah moved in together, and after that I saw my dad periodically, and that took a long time for me to get over,” she says. “Would I do that to my kids? No, but I don’t think Farrah was responsible for that. I truly thought Farrah was inspirational and beautiful and kind. Anyway, it’s past; I’ve moved on. I’m older now, and I forgive him.”

“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.”‘
