I felt that I needed to grow. If I can’t be stimulated in a conversation then I am bored and I’m not good when I’m bored.

Farrah Fawcett, 1980, on why she left Charlie’s Angels. She was bored assholes!!

She got tired of being a sex symbol. So she played an abused wife in “The Burning Bed”. She played a rape victim vigilante in “Extremities”. And she played a mother who tries to kill her children in “Small Sacrifices”. All three were based on true stories.

First your eyes go to the nipples, and then to the smile, the eyes and then her very beautiful face and hair overwhelms everything else. In fact today was the first time I noticed there was a towel in the picture.

The story behind the poster:

Who was Farrah Fawcett? She was only the most beautiful girl in the world. She was the one in the Wella Balsam shampoo ads. In fact, Partridge was slightly chagrined to admit, the guys in his dorm were buying women’s magazines just to get pictures of her. They papered their walls with her. Why, if someone was to put out a poster, they’d sell 1,000 copies in his dorm alone! That night, Ted asked his wife if she’d heard of Farrah Fawcett. She certainly had. Io grabbed a magazine off the coffee table and flipped to one of Farrah’s ads. She was pretty, wholesome, and blond. She was perfect. That Monday, when Ted returned to work, he told Mike that they were going to produce a poster featuring Farrah Fawcett. As if on cue, Mike asked, “Farrah who?” After much explanation, Ted got on the phone to Rick Hersh, Farrah’s agent, and pitched the idea. Hersh had just one question: “What type of product is Farrah to be selling on the poster?” “We want to sell Farrah on the Farrah poster,” Ted explained. She was selling herself. It was an odd request, but Hersh agreed to bring it to Farrah. A few days later, Hersh called back and accepted the proposal. Farrah thought the idea was “cute,” he said. Farrah suggested a photographer she knew. Ted made the arrangements. Early in the summer of ‘76, Ted received a package containing 25 shots of Farrah in a red swimsuit. She marked her favorite with a star: gleaming teeth, windblown hair, and … her nipple. Ted showed the photos around the office. Everyone had a different opinion about which one they should use. In the end, Ted went with the one Farrah had chosen. After all, who knew Farrah’s assets better than Farrah herself? [via]
