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 originally 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 sarape as the only
background. The swimsuit's color is sometimes described as reddish
orange.
The
photograph was created in mid-1976 as a commissioned work for the Pro
Arts poster company. Ted Trikilis ran the business with his brother and
his uncle. According to him, a friend brought Fawcett to his attention
in April 1976. She was still unknown, doing commercials for hair
shampoo. The friend and fellow students regarded her as the most
beautiful woman on US television. Since there were no posters of her,
they clipped shampoo ads from newspapers to hang them on their walls.
Pro
Arts made an agreement with Fawcett, giving her control over the
selection of the photos. After she was dissatisfied with the work of two
photographers, she suggested Bruce McBroom, with whom she had worked
before. The photograph was taken at Fawcett's estate in Los Angeles,
where she was living with her partner Lee Majors. The swimsuit, a
creation of designer Norma Kamali, was her own, and she also did her
styling herself. The striped blanket in the background of the photo
belonged to McBroom, who used it as a cover for his car seats. McBroom
took several shots that day, and Fawcett chose two, including the one
later published as a poster.
The
poster was launched in 1976. That same year, Fawcett became popular
through her role in the TV series Charlie's Angels.[5] The poster became
a great success, selling six million copies the first year. With more
than twelve million sold copies, it is considered the best-selling
poster to date.
