!!Tropes associated with her work:

* SeventiesHair: Her feathered hairstyle, often nicknamed 'Farrah Hair', is an immediate shorthand for the decade's styles.
* BillingDisplacement:[[invoked]] Due to her high profile at the time, she was given top billing in ''Saturn 3'' above Kirk Douglas and Harvey Keitel.
* CreatorBacklash:[[invoked]]
** She didn't look on ''Film/{{Saturn 3}}'', saying she had a script pitched to her that was "very different" from what they ended up filming.
** Like everyone else involved in the infamous ''Film/MyraBreckinridge'', she hated it, calling it "a terrible picture".
* CreatorChosenCasting:[[invoked]] She was discovered by Michael York while playing tennis, who immediately suggested her for the role of Holly in ''Film/LogansRun''.
* FriendshipOnTheSet:[[invoked]] She, Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson became lifelong friends while making ''Series/CharliesAngels''. The latter two have been determined to keep Farrah's legacy alive after her death.
* HostilityOnTheSet:[[invoked]] She was miserable during ''Film/MyraBreckinridge'' because Raquel Welch and Mae West were especially mean to her. She later said the experience made her swear never to act as diva-like as them.
* IAmNotSpock:[[invoked]] Despite being only part of ''Series/CharliesAngels'' for one season, and a career spanning several decades, she is best remembered as Jill.
* MsFanservice: One of the famous sex symbols of the 70s.
* OnSetInjury:[[invoked]] ''Sunburn'' was an unlucky film for her. She sustained several cuts and bruises when she had to crawl bare-legged across a floor while explosives were going off, and nearly drowned due to an accident filming an underwater stunt.
* ShortLivedBigImpact:[[invoked]] Despite on doing one season of ''Series/CharliesAngels'', she's one of the most remembered Angels. It's sometimes even forgotten she wasn't part of the entire series.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: She lost out on many roles because the directors couldn't imagine a man "who would leave ''that''".
* StarDerailingRole:[[invoked]] The failures of ''{{Film/Sunburn 1979}}'', ''Film/{{Saturn 3}}'' and ''Somebody Killed My Husband'' dented her star power after she left ''Charlie's Angels''. CareerResurrection would come in with ''Film/TheBurningBed'' and her subsequent Emmy nomination.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:[[invoked]]
** Her Emmy nominated role in ''Film/TheBurningBed'' was first offered to Creator/CherylLadd, who turned it down.
** She was offered a RemakeCameo in ''Film/CharliesAngels2000'' but (depending on who you ask) would only do it if she could be seen interacting with Charlie or provide the voice of Charlie.
