Farrah Fawcett will continue her charity work from beyond the grave. In her will, the late actress set aside part of her fortune to help victims of domestic violence.

The stunning star was nominated for an Emmy for her portrayal as an abused woman in the 1984 TV movie The Burning Bed. The film followed the true story of the first criminal case successfully tried using “battered woman’s syndrome” as a defense.

Farrah never forgot the plight of battered women and in her will donated money to her favorite charities championing against domestic violence.

The Charlie’s Angels star passed away last Thursday, after losing her three-year battle with cancer. She was 62.
