THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS star Thom Bierdz has spoken out about the passing of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett and shared paintings of them he had done in the past.
I am saddened by the passing of Michael and Farrah and was fortunate enough to have met them both. I was a huge fan of both of theirs since I was a teenager! His creative genius I likened to Picasso's and personally I so admired the way he reinvented himself (I identified with his lack of self-esteem and had silicone in my jaw to widen it, and I assume Michael did that as well) and Farrah was so radiant when younger, and when I spent an evening with her, I was surprised how sweet and fragile she seemed, and I identified with her social phobia on the particular night we met, through mutual friends who knew we were both artists. Farrah was a wonderful sculptor.
These portraits are looking at Thom from across from his gallery desk, and have been for years, as they are two of his most cherished pieces.
Thom is very talented.
