The story goes that even General Omar Bradley, one of America’s towering military leaders of the first half of the 20th century, had to prove his identity by answering questions about Grable before being allowed to pass a security post. She was so popular that, under interrogation, English speaking Germans during the war were forced to answer questions about American football and Betty Grable to prove they weren’t spies.
Grable pinups were sanctioned by the military and found their way into cockpits, on the side of planes, and of course, all over American barracks. The Farrah Fawcett red swimsuit poster shows a photograph of the American model and actress Farrah Fawcett taken by the American photographer Bruce McBroom. Betty Grable’s 1943 back shot in a one-piece swimsuit and playful over-the-shoulder smile is the gold standard of which all other pinups are measured. Its Glory Years came during World War II. The pinup has a long and revealing history. “I am very happy to have worked with the Farrah Fawcett Foundation on this amazing project,” added Elise Swopes.Farah Fawcett items, including the original a red swimsuit, poster and "Charlie's Angels" script, were donated to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in 2011.
