'Tennis Girl' Photographer Dies: Martin Elliott, the photographer whose bare-bottomed "Tennis Girl" photo of his 18-year-old girlfriend Fiona Butler in 1976 became an iconic poster that sold two million copies, has died at age 63. Over the years, Tennis Girl has been recreated by Kylie Minogue, Amanda Holden, Raving Rabbids and other celebrities; has appeared in LEGO bricks; and was recently featured in a tennis stars of yesteryear ad campaign.

The Lego one is hilarious, as is the Yesteryear ad.

There are other versions of this, including one where a model is serving.

Nice to know the guy could turn the other cheek.
