What past actress walked off with money from the California lottery?
In a fairy-tale twist, a smoking-hot actress who played Snow White at Disneyland walked off with a cool $5.2 million after winning the California Lottery. “I know I played Snow White, but I feel more like Cinderella,” said Natalie Marston, 22. “In a million years, I would not have thought something like this could happen to me.” Marston hit the jackpot on the California Lottery’s “Make Me a Millionaire” game show, on which contestants get to appear by buying a winning scratch-off ticket. Marston — who has appeared in films like “Magnolia” with Tom Cruise — will take home an annual $195,000 after taxes for 20 years, for a total of $3.9 million, lottery officials said.

Charlie’s Angels actress Farrah Fawcett has died. She was 62. The five-time Golden Globe-nominated star passed away on Thursday morning at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica, California. Her longtime partner Ryan O’Neal and best friend Alana Stewart were by her bedside when she passed away. Her son Redmond, who is serving a jail sentence for drug charges, was not present. Born Ferrah Leni Fawcett in Corpus Christi, Texas, the star started out as a model and actress in TV commercials, before getting her big break playing butt-kicking Jill Munroe in the hit TV series Charlie’s Angels. She quit the show after just one year and attempted to reinvent herself as a serious actress in movies like 1986’s big-screen adaptation of Broadway play Extremities and 1984’s TV film The Burning Bed. That role, as a battered wife, earned her the first of three Emmy Award nods in her career. She was also praised for her work in Small Sacrifices in 1989, garnering her both an Emmy and a Golden Globe nomina
