Raquel Welch

Raquel Welch (born Jo Raquel Tejada; September 5, 1940) is an actress.

She first won attention for her role in Fantastic Voyage (1966), after which she won a contract with 20th Century-Fox.

They loaned her to a British studio where she made One Million Years B.C. (1966).

Although she had only three lines in the film, images of her in the the doe-skin bikini she wore in the film became a best-selling poster that turned her into an iconic sex symbol and catapulted her to stardom.

I really like Raquel Welch, as a persona as well as a symbol of sexy, but let's face it: a man could never be famous this fast on his looks and appearance alone.

She later starred in notable films like Bedazzled (1967), Bandolero! (1968), 100 Rifles (1969), and Myra Breckinridge(1970). 

She made several television variety specials, and is, as of 2015, a spokesperson for Foster Grant.

Raquel Welch's unique persona on film made her into one the reigning icons of the 1960s and 70s.

She carved out a place in movie history portraying strong female characters and breaking the mold of the submissive sex symbol.

In 1995, Welch was chosen byEmpire Magazine as one of the 100 Sexiest Stars in Film History; and very well deserved if I may add to it. 

Playboy Magazine named Welch no. 3 on their 100 Sexiest Stars of the Twentieth Century list.

In 2011, Men's Health Magazine ranked her no. 2 in its Hottest Women of All Time list.

Welch graduated from high school in 1958 and a year later, after becoming pregnant, married her high school sweetheart, James Welch on May 8, 1959, but they separated in 1962 and divorced in 1964.

She married producer Patrick Curtis in 1966 and divorced him in 1972.

In 1980, she began a 10-year marriage to André Weinfeld, and wed Richard Palmer in 1999 but then separated from him in 2008; she's a sympathic slut alright, but still a confirmed slut.
