Michael Jackson was only 50 years and a preliminary diagnosis indicates that he died from cardiac arrest. The news of his loss moved around the globe at the speed of light.
Farrah Fawcett, the epitome of 1970's glamour and sex appeal, lost her long, arduous battle with cancer , today , at the age of 62.Her finals days were documented by television cameras.
If you are native to this planet, I don't really need to provide much context about the extraordinary and controversial lives of these two eccentric artists. We've witnessed their most painful chapters played out in the harsh light of media scrutiny.Both had been viewed as having lost touch with reality, but not with their myriad talents or their deeply devoted fans.
At KINESCOPE HD, we try not to value judge the performer, but choose to celebrate professional legacy. Television is our chosen field, so let's look back upon their lives on stage and screen, through the filter of vintage video.
