But putting the suit in the Smithsonian?
Farrah Fawcett's red swimsuit goes to Smithsonian
By Jessica Gresko - Associated Press -WASHINGTON (AP) — The red swimsuit that helped make "Charlie's Angels" actress Farrah Fawcett a 1970s icon became part of the Smithsonian's collection Wednesday on what would have been her 64th birthday.
Fawcett's longtime companion Ryan O'Neal presented the swimsuit and other items to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History in Washington. O'Neal said Fawcett, who died in 2009 after battling anal cancer for several years, always intended to give the suit to the museum.
"They asked her years ago for the bathing suit," he said. "So it was always in her plan."
