Don't tell me Barb, let me guess, You have the full set of DVD's for "West Wing" in your closet.
(I assume it was a TV series, as I never saw it in the UK)
As a matter of fact, I do. And it was a tremendously popular tv series in the U.S (although not among political conservatives). Good guess.
Barb is jealous...
This woman may not be exactly "famous" in the normal sense. In fact, she's quite private these days, and was only in the public limelight for a very short period (Playboy, November 1972, to be exact). However, it turns out that a bunch of computer imaging guys were looking for a suitable picture on which to test their latest latest compression algorithm, and Playboy from November 1972 had exactly such a picture - the centerfold.
They used this crop of centrefold of Miss November 1972, because it had the required variety and depth of colours and, when rendered in grayscale, had the widest range of grays, with no blacks or whites.
In this version, it became a standard test picture for digitizing images, and was instrumental in the development of the JPEG format.
May I present, former Swedish model, Ms. Lena Söderberg. We couldn't do all this without her, after all.
The crop that helped invent our picture format.
And the actual centerfold, as well as other images from that shoot.
She did a recent interview, and posed to recreate the famous cropped shot:

Still quite a striking woman, now in her 60s.
Anyway, as people who post, view, manipulate, create, and otherwise work with photo and picture formats, Lena, we salute you.

Not always true. I'm very conservative, and I loved it!And it was a tremendously popular tv series in the U.S (although not among political conservatives). Good guess.
