2022-08-28 21:00:06 The most popular poster of the 20th century.

In 1976 Pro Arts, a poster company, offered aspiring actress Farrah Fossett the opportunity to have her picture taken for a poster. And in a bikini. The actress accepted. But when photographer Bruce McBroom came to Farrah's house (where it was decided to hold the photo shoot), it turned out that Miss Fossett had no bikini. The frustrated photographer suggested Farrah wear whatever she was comfortable in.

Miss Fossett wore a red swimming costume, from her wardrobe. In addition, the poster company did not provide the actress with a make-up artist or hairdresser. Farrah applied her own makeup and an old colourful bedspread served as a backdrop. A total of 40 different pictures were taken that day. One of them was destined to become legendary.

No girl's poster was as wildly successful as the one showing Farrah in a red swimming costume. It adorned teenagers' bedrooms, truckers' cabins and cheerleaders' locker rooms. A total of 12 million copies were sold. Открыть/Комментировать
