akastormi 617 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 The red swimsuit that helped make Charlie's Angels actress Farrah Fawcett an icon is going to the Smithsonian in Washington. Fawcett's longtime companion Ryan O'Neal will donate the swimsuit and other items to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History on Wednesday. A 1976 poster of Fawcett in the dampened red swimsuit sold millions of copies. Also going to the Smithsonian are Fawcett's copies of scripts for the first season of Charlie's Angels and a 1977 Farrah Fawcett doll. The items will be part of the museum's popular culture history collection. Fawcett died in 2009 at the age of 62 after battling cancer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BuffetDestroyer 969 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Will it be a scratch & sniff exhibit? In seriousness, it was very sad to see her go as she was the very definition of sexy in her day - long before botox and plastic surgeons were creating the synthetic perversion we see today. Rest in Peace, Farrah. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
