Poor Farrah.Farrah Fawcett's incarcerated son was permitted to say a final goodbye to his dying mother.
Redmond O'Neal, 24, visited the cancer-stricken screen icon on Friday, the same night her heart-wrenching documentary aired, In Touch Weekly reported.
"He went to her condo to spend time with her," a source told the gossip mag.
Redmond has been behind bars since April 5, when he was busted for drug possession on the grounds of a California jail where he was dropping off friends.
A court granted Redmond permission to visit Fawcett for the first time on April 25. The touching meeting - in which Redmond's legs were shackled, but his hands were allowed to be free - was recorded for the documentary.
Fawcett's loved ones have kept the news of her son's incarceration from her.
Prior to the April visit, Redmond O'Neal's father, Ryan O'Neal, told him: "Live your life as a tribute to your mother."
Nearly 9 million people tuned in to watch Fawcett's brave video diary of her battle against terminal cancer.
The painful two-hour show gave NBC its biggest audience in that time slot in more than a year, excluding the Olympics.
"Farrah's Story" chronicles the former Charlie's Angel's harrowing fight against anal cancer with deeply personal footage of her treatments in the U.S. and Germany.
Hollywood stars turned out last week for a screening of the documentary. Ryan O'Neal said he planned to wake his longtime love so they could watch it together at home.
Fawcett has been battling the disease for 21/2 years. In promotional interviews last week, O'Neal said Fawcett is in so much pain he sometimes wishes she would go peacefully to sleep and not wake up.
