- Raquel Welch Raquel Welch Info Raquel Welch, one of the most famous sex symbols of all time, has fueled the sexual fantasies of men for close to four decades. The buxom pin-up's popularity throughout the 1960s and 1970s even eclipses the popularity enjoyed by Pamela Anderson in the 90s. As she approaches 60 years of age the statuesque Raquel Welch is as sexy as ever. Her film debut was in the pop musical A Swingin' Summer in 1965. It wasn't long before she made her debut in a major motion picture, the sci-fi thriller Fantastic Voyage, but it was the Hammer caveman film One Million Years B.C. that launched her into superstardom. Publicity photos and the movie poster featured Raquel Welch in what amounted to a fur bikini, displaying her incredible body (complete with a fantastic set of legs). No doubt, this contributed greatly to the success of the film. Unfortunately, her initial success would not last. A well known sex symbol who sold tons of posters, very few people went to see her movies. The Three Musketeers and its sequel, The Four Musketeers, were perhaps the only successful films in which she starred following One Million Years B.C. until very recently. Fortunatey, Raquel Welch has seen more success in the Eighties and Nineties. She has proven somewhat successful on stage and even returned to the big screen in The Naked Gun 33 1/3. Nearly sixty, Raquel Welch is still stunning and her legs are as exqusisite as ever. Raquel Welch appeared on Playboy's list of the 100 sexiest stars of the 20th century; coming in 3rd after Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield. |
