The most popular poster of the 20th century.

In 1976, the company ProArts, engaged in the production of posters, invited the aspiring actress Farrah Fawcett to be photographed for a poster. And in a bikini. The actress agreed. But when photographer Bruce McBroom arrived at Farrah's house (it was decided to hold a photo shoot there), it turned out that Miss Fossett did not have a bikini. The frustrated photographer suggested that Farrah wear something she would be comfortable in.

Miss Fossett put on a red bathing suit that she dug out of the closet. In addition, the company that ordered the poster did not provide the actress with either a make-up artist or a hairdresser. Farrah made up herself, and highlighted the strands in her hair with lemon juice, and an old colorful blanket served as a background. A total of 40 versions of the pictures were taken that day. One was to become legendary

Marlboro was the first company to introduce the so-called "flip tops" — cigarette packs with a folding top. The fact is that many buyers have become alert to pull cigarettes out of the pack without taking it out of their pocket, so the brand of cigarettes is not visible.

They decided to correct such an unheard-of outrage by introducing such a pack: now you can't take a cigarette out of such a pack without special skill. Thus, Marlboro forced its consumers to take out the pack, showing the brand name and packaging, which had a positive effect on sales.
