Farrah Fawcett et Andy Warhol: deux toiles au coeur d'un procès hollywoodien

Andy Warhol, figure marquante du Pop art, a peint bon nombre de célébrités. Farrah Fawcett, véritable icône popularisée par le série américaine Charlie's angels, était le sujet de deux toiles de l'artiste, toiles maintenant évaluées à douze millions de dollars. Un procès se déroule actuellement pour déterminer à qui appartient l'une des deux toiles. Doit-elle revenir à Ryan O'neill, avec qui a elle a formé un couple, à un musée ou à un des autres hommes de sa vie. L'art, la culture pop et le clinquant hollywoodien dans une saga typiquement américaine. Comme le chanterait Tina Turner: "what's love gotta do with it?

 "They were the quintessential Hollywood couple -- she the "angel" with the dazzling smile, golden mane and poster-girl figure, he the golden boy whose onscreen "Love Story" was doomed by cancer.

 But were they a couple at the end, after infidelity tore them apart and their own battles with cancer brought them back together?

 And did she intend for him to keep a portrait of her that's worth millions so he could remember her always? Or did she simply leave it to her alma mater, along with her other artwork?

 These are the questions jurors must answer as they journey into the private lives of Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal and their relationship with the late pop artist Andy Warhol.

The jury of six men and six women is revisiting the final days of the gorgeous girl from Texas who sold 12 million posters, starred in the first season of the hit 1970s TV show "Charlie's Angels" and became one of the last century's most cherished pop icons. O'Neal, a heartthrob in the 1960s and '70s who was nominated for a best actor Oscar for his performance in "Love Story," is expected to take the stand again this week and tell jurors about his real-life love story with Fawcett.
