Jaclyn Smith Reveals 17 Years Apart From Husband in New Memoir

Q: What secret message did Farrah Fawcett leave Jaclyn Smith just before her tragic death in 2009?

Farrah Fawcett left Jaclyn Smith a deeply personal letter, given with a bronze sculpture the Christmas before Fawcett died in 2009. The key message Smith has publicly shared from that note was about fear. According to Smith, Fawcett wrote: “I have never feared anything; now fear is around the corner.” Smith said the letter described the “limbo state of fear” Fawcett was living in as her cancer worsened, and she included the note in her memoir for the first time. So the “secret message” was not a hidden code, but a private final reflection: Fawcett, long seen as fearless, confided to Smith that illness had brought a new and unsettling fear into her life. Smith has said the letter was especially poignant because, despite that fear, Fawcett remained brave, hopeful and humorous until the end.

Jaclyn Smith, 80, says in her memoir that she and fourth husband Dr. Brad Allen lived apart for 17 of their 35 years together.
Allen moved to the University of Illinois in Chicago about two years after they met in 1991, while Smith stayed in Los Angeles; she said they commuted and married only after seven years together.
Smith said her two children made her more cautious after three divorces, turning the relationship into a “three-way decision” before she married Allen in 1997.
The memoir casts the long-distance marriage as a contrast to her earlier failed unions, which she said were marked by infidelity and substance-abuse strains.
Smith said shared values, family and Allen’s support through her 2002 breast cancer treatment helped make the relationship endure until they closed the distance in 2009.
