She was one of the biggest sex symbols in the 1960s and part of one of the biggest film images ever. Raquel Welch passed away Wednesday at the age of 82. Welch took part in Fantastic Voyage, Myra Breckinridge, and One Million Years B.C. and turned them into a career spanning several decades. Her appearance in One Million Years B.C. in particular is iconic because of her outfit. She quickly became the linchpin for the film’s marketing and its impact in the years after its debut.
She was born in Chicago on September 5th, 1940 as Jo Raquel Tejada. Her career lasted through the decades before she eventually decided to spend her final years at home in Beverly Hills.
