Normally I would be making fun of CNN anchor Tony Harris reportage of this story (he is treating her as one of the major stars and actresses of her generation - she was not). But, while I don't approve, in this case I can not condemn. When I was in high school that poster was EVERYWHERE. We didn't have the internet, we had cheesecake posters, and that was #1 (my personal favorite was a fetching Linda Ronstadt poster, and a little later a very nice Cheryl Ladd poster, but Fawcett was clearly the most popular). I never had her poster in my room (my parents would not have gone for that) but she was on the walls of half my friends rooms (and on the inside closet door of the other half). For men of my generation she became, quite apart from her talent as an actress or the quality of her roles, a major definition of female sexuality. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
