Network: 
February 2 is the birthday of perhaps the most famous pin-up beauty. Of course we're talking about Farrah Fawcett, who turns 62 today. Asylum readers After more than 30 years since Farrah's famous poster was first stuck on bedroom walls across the globe, do you still think she holds the crown?
50 Most Memorable Pin-ups
50. Shakira -- In almost any language, Shakira translates into "astounding abs." What's the origin of this six-pack wonder? Shakira fell in love with performing when her father took her to a Middle Eastern restaurant and she discovered belly dancing. (We only mention that detail to help you imagine Shakira belly dancing. It makes the poster even better.) Pin-ups, Pinups

49. Lisa Hartman -- Best known these days as Mrs. Clint Black, this Texas cutie burst onto the scene in 1976's "Tabitha," a TV series about the grown-up witch-child of Samantha and Darren Stevens from "Bewitched." She's bewitching, all right, and laying it all on the table. Pin-ups, Pinups

48. Tila Tequila -- What you don't know about Tila: her real name is Tila Nguyen, she was born in Singapore, and was once in a girl gang. What you do know: back before she "found love" on MTV, she held the record for the most MySpace friends ever (1.5 million and counting). And chances are every one of them had this poster. Pin-ups, Pinups

47. Cheryl Ladd -- Cheryl Ladd may forever be known as Farrah Fawcett's stand-in from "Charlie's Angels," but as soon as she was on the show she proved her cleavage could stand on its own. Nowadays, she spends more time golfing than acting, leaving the latter to her daughter, Jordan Ladd (who appeared in "Grindhouse" and has definitely inherited some of the DNA Chery's exhibits here.

46. Mariah Carey -- While this pop superstar's music polarizes people, can't we all agree on the booty? Time to hold hands. (Image from adrants.com) Pin-ups, Pinups

45. Charlene Tilton -- You can see the talent of a former Hollywood High cheerleader blazing through Charlene Tilton's bikini in this shot. If you're under the age of 25, you may not realize she once starred as Lucy Ewing in the TV series "Dallas." Her talents will be sorely missed in upcoming movie version. (Image from imageshack.us.) Pin-ups, Pinups

44. Loni Anderson -- Peroxide blonde hair? Check. Feathered and blown-dried? Check. Absurd, multi-colored backdrop? Double-check. Oh yes, we have all the ingredients of an early-'80s scorcher. Once, Loni was the toast of "WKRP in Cincinnati" and then Mrs. Burt Reynolds. She may now be the faded punchline of "Love Boat" episodes, yet in this poster she's still a Technicolor dream. Pin-ups, Pinups

43. Alyssa Milano -- The second "Poison Ivy" movie represented that moment when Alyssa transformed from goodie-two-shoes child star to budding sexpot. Sure, she made plenty of cinematic missteps along the way -- including the vaguely erotic "Deadly Sins." Then she posed for this poster -- and we immediately forgave everything. Pin-ups, Pinups
myposters.com
42. Heather Thomas -- The good news: This poster had no room for Heather Thomas' notable co-star from "The Fall Guy" -- Lee Majors aka the Six-Million Dollar Man. The less-than-good news: This hot poster is as much skin we'll ever see from Ms. Thomas, who said, "I won't take my clothes off because I can't believe it's necessary. You can be sexy with your clothes on just as well as you can by taking off your blouse." Pin-ups, Pinups

41. Lita Ford -- How did '80s rock-chick Lita Ford sell more than 100 million records? Maybe it was her hot licks that could match any hair-metal god's. Maybe it was an armory full of Aqua Net. Or maybe it was a slew of posters like this one. Pin-ups, Pinups

I agree that Texan Farrah is beautiful, but it's hard to believe her poster outranks that of Betty Grable in WWII. Her legs were insured for a million dollars when a dollar was sound.

Hi Dave,
I'm not quite sure why I picked you're comment to reply to, but here's my take.
Reality vs. Fantasy. Reality is in your perfect eyes, in person. Fantasy is what the camera, lights, make-up and angles of shots, make you believe is reality. 3-D got to love it, right. It's far better than reality. A matter of Perspective. Dream on....my best to you.

Some of these women do not belong. Mariah Carey and that strange Tequila person. Shakira is a talented singer and very pretty but not really a pin-up.

I can't belive she is 62. I bet she still looks beautiful. I wore a t-shirt with her on it back in the 70's. I hope she knows how many lives she gave joy to.

I was surprised to see that Betty Grable was not #1. No one has ever come close to her popularity.
Ask anyone who remembers WWII.

I remember this poster and there is a reason it is number 1. She is beautiful without trying to be, a very simple pose that does not look trashy like so many others.......Make up is very simple....

Legendary beauty that Farrah!! Unsurpassed by NO female since. I have a clip out of a cartoon that ran in the New York Times showing the witch of 'Sleeping Beauty' staring into a mirror saying,"Besides Farrah Fawcett, who's the fairest of them all?"..LOL. Couldnt have said it better!

Yea, Farrah rocked when she was on drugs for a number of years. Not close to number one. Grable, Lamarr just to name two could sit on Farrah's face.

An under-rated actress and the most lovely woman to ever have walked the earth. You are so loved Farrah.
Happy Birthday to you gorgeous woman.

I had the hots for Farrah back then, but was never really into that poster. I mean, I've seen many better poster's than that before and after. Raquel Welch was a stunner, so was Heather Thomas. Many others. Since then, I've come to the conclusion that Farrah was really just about her hair. Square face. Of the angels, Liked Jaclyn Smith Cheryl Ladd, and Tanya Roberts.

Does anyone know what's going on with Farrah Fawcett?
She got cancer and dropped from the public eye.
Her boyfriend, Ryan O'Neal, and son got arrested for crystal meth, and that's the last we heard of her.

I agree with you, Bill. Betty Grable and especially Hedy Lamarr - wow! They were truly BEAUTIFUL. Beautiful faces along with the rest of the package. Farah didn't have a beautiful face like they did, just attractive. IMHO, I think the thing that made Farah's poster so big ----> it showed nipples. That's all. If it hadn't, it would have just been another poster of an attractive girl. The guys just drooled over the nipples showing through the shirt. The pin-ups of Grable and Lamarr's era were drooled over because of their faces and legs - that's how I'D want to be remembered.
