Celebrity news: Farrah Fawcett’s suit is museum piece.

“Charlie’s Angels” star Farrah Fawcett would have turned 64 yesterday, and to celebrate, her iconic red bathing suit and the poster that launched a million adolescent boys’ fantasies were given to the Smithsonian.

Farrah’s longtime boyfriend, Ryan O’Neal, and her nephew, Greg Walls, donated iconic items from her estate to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History for inclusion in their pop culture collection.

“I don’t think that Farrah realized the impact that poster would have on the world,” Ryan said. “She was one of a kind. She had energy and an aura I have never seen before or since. She was magnificent.”

Farrah, who died of cancer in 2009, made the one-piece swimsuit famous in the 1976 poster that showed off her dazzling smile and her headful of blonde curls. More than 12 million posters were sold and the image came to represent the 1970s.

Ahh yes. I sure remember that swimsuit and pose and SMILE. Good for her. I suspect she is smiling that smile now. Once upon a time I had a crush on her. :D

.....She never wore a 2 piece suit because she had a scar on her belly that she was ashamed of.

I didn't know that. Much later she did bare her butt in the name of art. She would somehow roll paint on her butt and then press it onto canvas multiple times ...and she called it art. I saw her do that on Letterman 10 or 15 years ago.
 
yes so sad anothers death overshadowed hers so much. sigh......glad its HER poster going to the smithsonian .......SHE deserves it.
