Statue of Farrah Fawcett planned for Corpus Christi bayfront
Farrah Fawcett, among Corpus Christi’s most beloved stars , could soon be honored with her own bronze statue skateboarding along the downtown seawall. It’s intended to capture “the spirit of one of her most iconic scenes from the Charlie’s Angels television show,” according to a memo outlining an agreement between private donors and the city, which would locate a statue with her likeness along a popular stretch between Shoreline Boulevard and the bay waters. The document describes a 600- to 700-pound statue that would stand at about 7 feet tall — 8 feet, if including a roughly 1-foot base — featuring a green patina finish. A group referenced as Friends of Farrah Fawcett would commission the artwork and financially cover the costs of the project, to include its construction and installation, and subsequently donate it to the city, according to the memo.

The goal of Friends of Farrah is to “honor their former classmate and friend while contributing a meaningful piece of artwork to the City where she grew
