From serving in the U.S. Signal Corps to extensive work in music, television, and film, photographer Bruce McBroom has had an epic career. You may know him best for his iconic photo of Farrah Fawcett, the best-selling poster of all time and the inspiration for the new Farrah Fawcett Doll. Read on for an exclusive Q & A with the man whose shot was bought round the world!

It’s been 35 years since the Farrah poster debuted. How do you feel about its enduring appeal?
I think the enduring appeal of the poster relates to the simpler time it was - no 24-hour TV, Internet, YouTube, TMZ, tabloids, and paparazzi. Farrah was such a sweet all-American girl, and the photo portrayed that while still being a little "sexy." Women and girls liked it as well as men and boys. People still tell me stories about the poster they had, or their boyfriend had, in their dorm room or garage or police station or the back of the office door. Somehow, it stuck in everyone’s memory.
