One swimsuit selfie earned her more money than 'Charlie's Angels.'

She sits on the ground, arm propped up on one knee. Her head of golden curls tossed back. Her eyes fixed on you. Bronze skin, teeth beaming. A simple red swimsuit popping against a rainbow backdrop.

It's an image fixed in the memory of anyone who lived through the 1970s. Not only is it the defining image of Farrah Fawcett, it is an icon of the entire decade. It's glamorous but real, and it was made for cheap, with a scrappy backstory.

The tale of how this poster came to be — and what it became — is rather fascinating. Let's breeze back to Seventies and take a closer look.

1. It has sold more than 5 million copies.
2. It's the bestselling poster of all time.
3. The poster was made by Ohio brothers who got their start in anti-war posters.
