This one must be playing (paying) homage to the timeless image of "The Tennis Girl". Surely you must know of her, but do you know the whole story?
The Tennis Girl | Iconic Photos If a single picture ever conveyed the sexual liberation, permissive society and hostility towards norms and authorities of the 1970s, it would be the iconic poster of “The Tennis Girl”. Taken at the end of the long hot summer in September 1976, the photo was not an accidental shot. Martin Elliot, then a photography student in Birmingham, asked his then girlfriend, 18-year old Fiona Butler to borrow a tennis dress, a racket and balls and to pose for him. read more about the history here

Don't know if you've seen this pic, phil, but I ran across it over at AICN.
It's a behind-the-scenes pic from John Huston's "The Misfits". The guy in the glasses, rear left, is supposedly Arthur Miller, the partially-cropped guy on the left is Eli Wallach, the guy partially obscured by Gable's hat is John Huston, the guy getting his jaw palmed is Montgomery Clift, and I'm not sure who the blonde is...some obscure actress?
