Farrah Fawcett, 1947 - 2009-
Actress, model, and style icon Farrah Fawcett won the hearts and fantasies of boys across America with the release of this sexy, simple pin-up poster. Her image went from "All-American beauty" to independent and alluring in the original girl-power series, "Charlie's Angels."

Farrah Fawcett fought anal cancer for three years before her death in Los Angeles.
