This may show my age, but yes I did own a Farrah Fawcett swimsuit poster and it hung on my wall for years.

In her day she was the hottest thing going and the dream of every little boy, and man for that matter.

The poster was shot in 1976 and the sexy picture turned college dropouts Mike and Ted Trikilis into multimillionaires.

They just happen to run the poster empire Pro Arts Inc.

The photo featured gleaming white teeth, windblown hair, and her nipple. Can't forget that.

Once published, the poster became an instant sensation, and sales continued to increase exponentially over the following months.

It was reported that Fawcett’s one-season run on ”˜Charlie’s Angels’ earned her $5,000 per episode, while she pocketed $400,000 in royalties from the poster.

Kids, ask your dad if he had one - and if says no, check the garage because there is no way he put it in the trash.
