New York, NY - Nov. 4, 2009 - For three decades Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O'Neal were together, and O'Neal was with Fawcett when she tragically died of cancer in June.  But in this INSIDE EDITION television exclusive, Fawcett's college boyfriend Greg Lott claims that he was Fawcett's secret lover for the last eleven years of Fawcett's life, almost until the very end.  He claims O'Neal refused to let him see her.

Lott: "I mean, this guy barred me from seeing the love of my life for the last three months of her life."

Lott tells INSIDE EDITION that O'Neal barred him from attending her funeral, and Lott also says he received a bizarre autographed photo showing Ryan O'Neal with a punching bag, and the caption, "Nobody wins, peace."

Lott tells INSIDE EDITION he met Fawcett in 1965 when she was an art major at the University of Texas and he was the star quarterback.

Lott: "I was just thunderstruck...I fell flat in love with her."

Lott claims they were college sweethearts and dated all through school, but they broke up when he went to prison for selling drugs.

Fawcett moved to Hollywood and landed the famed role as one of Charlie's Angels.  She then became the iconic pinup who captivated millions of young men, but Ryan O'Neal captured her heart.

But in 1998, Fawcett and O'Neal's romance hit a snag.  Lott says, out of the blue, Fawcett called him to vent about her volatile lover.

Lott: "She always referred to him as the fat **** from the beach."

Lott, who is now a drug counselor in Lubbock, Texas, claims that phone call rekindled their romance.  He tells INSIDE EDITION that they didn't need to be married for them to be dedicated to each other.  

Lott: "We just got to a point by 1998, we didn't need a piece of paper...we had a commitment, a total commitment."

He says he also didn't want his past drug charges to complicate things with Fawcett's son, Redmond, who struggled with drug problems of his own. 

Lott says he often visited Fawcett at her penthouse condo in Los Angeles.  They wrote each other intimate love letters.  He read one to INSIDE EDITION:

Fawcett: "Dearest Greg, I miss you so much, and sometimes the loneliness makes me cry...Thinking of you always and love you forever.  Farrah in Bavaria."

Lott says Fawcett sent him that letter from Germany where she underwent treatment for cancer.  But it was O'Neal, not Lott, who was by Fawcett's side, as seen in the heartbreaking documentary, "Farrah's Story."

When Fawcett returned to the United States, she entered a Santa Monica Hospital under an assumed name.

Lott: "She always had a code name, so I found her, got her on the phone...and talked to her for a week...talked to her until the Thursday night before Easter, and she said I'll call you tomorrow night...I never talked to her again."
