Tatum O'neal: 'Cancer Healed My Rift With Fawcett'.Actress Tatum O'Neal felt obliged to put an end to her 10-year rift with FARRAH FAWCETT after learning the Charlie's Angels star had been diagnosed with cancer.The Rescue Me star has previously spoken of her rocky relationship with Fawcett - who has been dating Tatum's father Ryan O'Neal on and off since 1982 - stating she "never talked to Farrah" because she disapproved of her father's relationship with the actress. But the 43-year-old decided to reconcile with Fawcett, 60, last year after the veteran actress was diagnosed with anal cancer.She tells Access Hollywood, "You don't want anyone to be sick. She and I had been estranged for a while, a long time - 10 years or so and when I heard that she was sick I made a trip. I was working in San Diego at the time and I made a trip out to LA, drove my car and I visited her."She was then doing better but now she's had this relapse with the cancer. We just all pray for her."Fawcett was given the all-clear in February (07) only to suffer a setback when doctors found traces of the disease in May (07).
