First Look: Alana Stewart’s Book on Friendship with Farrah

Alana Stewart was best friends with Farrah Fawcett for 30 years. Now in her intimate new memoir, she reveals how the "Charlie's Angel" star inspired her even in the worst of times.

In a People exclusive, Alana shares excerpts from the book.

On finding out her friend had cancer: "My daughter came into my room this morning, visibly upset," she writes. Upon hearing tabloid reports that Farrah has cancer, she said "Of course not, that's ridiculous." But her heart sank when she called her long-time friend. "I called Farrah just to make sure. 'It's true,' she said softly. Then she started to cry. She was trying to be brave, but with me, she let it all out."
