Farrah Fawcett red swimsuit poster

Photograph of Farrah Fawcett, filling most of the frame, facing right turned slightly to the viewer. Her left leg is bent, and her right leg is stretched; she is grabbing her hair with her left hand, the upper arm resting on the knee, and her head tilted backward. She has a broad smile with white teeth.
The poster, showing Farrah Fawcett in a red swimsuit

The Farrah Fawcett red swimsuit poster shows a photograph of the American model and actress Farrah Fawcett taken by the American photographer Bruce McBroom in 1976. It was commissioned by the Pro Arts poster company, which published it as a pin-up poster the same year. With more than twelve million copies sold, it is considered the best-selling poster to date and is said to be a modern icon and a symbol of the late 1970s.

The photograph shows Farrah Fawcett, then aged 29, wearing a plain one-piece red swimsuit in front of a striped Mexican serape as the only background. The swimsuit's color is sometimes described as reddish orange.[1]
