In an exclusive interview with Barbara Walters for "20/20," Farrah Fawcett's longtime love Ryan O'Neal said the couple has plans to marry.

"I've asked her to marry me, again, and she's agreed," O'Neal, 68, told Walters.

O'Neal described Fawcett's deteriorating condition, saying the 62-year-old iconic actress is "fighting for her life.

"We will, as soon as she can, say yes. ... Maybe we can just nod her head," he said, with a laugh.

"I used to ask her to marry me all the time," he said. "But ... it just got to be a joke, you know. We just joked about it."

As for how he will dress for the ceremony, O'Neal said, "Like a gigolo. You know? And a little thin mustache and slicked-back hair. I don't know. We have fun, we tease about that."

Barbara Walters' complete interview with Ryan O'Neal, as well as Farrah Fawcett's doctor and others who are closest to her, will air on "20/20" Friday at 10 p.m. ET.
