Fawcett's longtime companion, Ryan O'Neal, donated the swimsuit and other items to the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History  today

 A 1976 poster of Fawcett in the dampened red swimsuit sold millions of copies.

Also going to the Smithsonian are Fawcett's copies of scripts for the first season of "Charlie's" and a 1977 Farrah Fawcett doll.

The items will be part of the museum's popular culture history collection.

Fawcett died in 2009 at the age of 62 after battling cancer.
