Red Hot History: Farrah Fawcett's Iconic Swimsuit Goes To Smithsonian
StaffTHE FIRE ENGINE-RED HOT BATHING SUIT THAT FARRAH FAWCETT WORE TO INFAMY WILL become part of the permanent collection at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.
Items that belonged to the 70s sex symbol have been donated by her longtime lover Ryan O'Neal, and the one-piece suit worn in her iconic swimsuit poster is part of the package.
The poster splashed the Charlie's Angel in red swimsuit and dazzling smile and sold 12 million copies, propelling the actress to stratospheric heights of fame. A generation of boys grew up ogling the pinup beauty.
Two years ago, the sexy symbol died of cancer. She was 63.
