FARRAH FAWCETT- Fame, Faith & FRIENDSHIP

Farrah Fawcett liked her chocolate chip cookies extra crispy. “She’d say, ‘Can you burn them a little bit for me?’ ” the star’s former assistant Mike Pingel tells Closer. “She liked them a little darker around the edges.”

After many years as a fan of the late Charlie’s Angels actress, Mike felt nervous about interviewing with her for an assistant job in 2005. “I thought it would be horrible if Jill Munroe was yelling at me for something that I’d done wrong! But I took the meeting,” says Mike, author of Channel Surfing: Charlie’s Angels. He accepted the position because Farrah, whom he’d met briefly before, was so sweet to him. “I said yes, and we just had the best time.”

For three years, Mike helped the actress run her home and business. “I shopped for her. I cooked for her. I took phone calls. I was with her 24/7 during those years,” says Mike, who adds that despite his worries, Farrah never yelled at him. “She was everything you wanted in a boss.”
