Raquel Welch

 Jo Raquel Welch (nye Tejada 5 September 1940) was an American actress from the United States. Her fame first came about for her performance in Fantastic Voyage (1966), and then she was offered an audition by 20th Century Fox. They granted her contract to Hammer Film Productions in Britain which was where she appeared in One Million Years B.C. (1966). Although she had only three lines of dialogue in the film pictures of her in her bikini that she was wearing became the most popular posters that turned her into an international symbol of sex. Later, she starred in Bedazzled (1967), Bandolero! (1968) 100 Riffles (1969), Myra Breckinridge (70), as well as Hannie Caulder (71). She appeared on a number of TV variety specials.Through her portrayal of strong female characters, which allowed her to break the mould of the conventional sex symbol, Welch developed a unique film personality which made her an iconic figure in the 1960s and 1970s. The constant promotion by Hollywood of the blonde bombshell was partially responsible for Welch's rise to stardom in mid-1960s.
