Photographed in 1973, these two promising young actresses would soon become icons of Hollywood glamour! Do you recognize them?

On the left of the photo is Farrah Fawcett, still at the beginning of her career. At that time, she was not yet the international star that the world would discover a few years later.

In the TV movie, she played a beauty pageant contestant with a great deal of self-deprecation and charm. Even then, her charisma was evident. She had that smile, that presence, and that energy that immediately set her apart.

A few years later, she would become world-famous thanks to the series  Charlie's Angels , and her iconic poster in a red swimsuit would become one of the best-selling images of all time. Farrah Fawcett was no longer a promising actress: she had become a pop culture legend and a  Hollywood icon .

Barbi Benton, model and television star

Alongside him was Barbi Benton, already well-known in the modeling world. She had appeared in numerous magazines and was beginning to make a name for herself on television and in music.

Contrary to what many thought, she didn't want to be just a famous face. She was looking to build a real artistic career. Her participation in this TV movie showed that she could act with naturalness and humor.

Subsequently, she pursued a varied career in television, music and entertainment, also becoming a prominent figure in American culture during the 70s and 80s.
