As the show was a big hit, she unsurprisingly earned a huge amount of fame, going on to receive a Golden Globe nomination. 1976 saw her pose in a red bathing suit for that iconic poster which went on to become the best-selling poster in history, selling over 20 million copies.

However, she relapsed and was re-diagnosed in the spring that year, and suffered many complications in her treatment. In June 2009, Fawcett tragically passed away, at the age of 62. However, her millions of fans around the world, will no doubt continue adoring her work.
