FARRAH THE POSTER AND HEALTH UPDATE


Owned by Farrah since 1976, the image created the poster industry. Fonzie, the Six Million Dollar Man, Wonder Woman, the cast of SNL and the Other Angels soon followed.

Poster appeared in LIFE MAGAZINE as one of the iconic images that defined the 70’s -- setting the still standing record of over 12 million copies sold.

Poster has been reproduced and bootlegged over one billion times, appearing on t-shirts, mugs, puzzles, notebooks, bean bag chairs and screen savers.

In 2007, G.Q. Magazine named the poster “the most influential piece of men’s art of the last 50 years.”

In 2008, AOL users voted the poster the #1 Pin Up of all time. Marilyn Monroe's pin-up was second.

Poster has appeared in such movies as SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE 3RD KIND, BOOGIE NIGHTS, and THE LOVE GURU.

Poster has appeared on such television shows as THAT 70’S SHOW, SCRUBS and MY NAME IS EARL.

Poster has appeared in music videos by Everclear and Alabama.

Poster was inside the time capsule of the Oblio Satellite Probe that was shot into space by NASA in 1977.

Poster hangs in the Smithsonian (with Fonzie's jacket and Archie Bunker's chair).

Over the weekend Farrah was visited by the Bishop and Sister Mary. Farrah requested steak from her favorite restaurant, The Palm, and was able to sit-up, cut the meat and feed herself. Reportedly, she was ravenous. She was also visited by her 91 year old father and his wife. She is surrounded by friends and family. Her cancer has spread to her liver and is in an advanced stage.
