Raquel Welch
Jo Raquel Welch (; September 5, 1940 – February 15, 2023) was an American actress.Welch first garnered attention for her role in ''Fantastic Voyage'' (1966), after which she signed a long-term contract with 20th Century Fox. They lent her contract to the British studio Hammer Film Productions, for whom she made ''One Million Years B.C.'' (1966). Although Welch had only three lines of dialogue in the film, images of her in the doe-skin bikini became bestselling posters that turned her into an international sex symbol. She later starred in ''Bedazzled'' (1967), ''Bandolero!'' (1968), ''100 Rifles'' (1969), ''Myra Breckinridge'' (1970), ''Hannie Caulder'' (1971), ''Kansas City Bomber'' (1972), ''The Last of Sheila'' (1973), ''The Three Musketeers'' (1973), ''The Wild Party'' (1975), and ''Mother, Jugs & Speed'' (1976). She made several television variety specials.
Through her portrayal of strong female characters, helping her break the mold of the traditional sex symbol, Welch developed a unique film persona that made her an icon of the 1960s and 1970s. Her rise to stardom in the mid-1960s was partly credited with ending Hollywood's vigorous promotion of the blonde bombshell. Her love scene with Jim Brown in ''100 Rifles'' also made cinematic history with their portrayal of interracial intimacy. She won a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Actress in a Musical or Comedy in 1974 for her performance as Constance Bonacieux in ''The Three Musketeers'' and reprised the role in its sequel the following year. She was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Television Film for her performance in ''Right to Die'' (1987). Her final film was ''How to Be a Latin Lover'' (2017). In 1995, Welch was chosen by ''Empire'' magazine as one of the "100 Sexiest Stars in Film History". ''Playboy'' ranked Welch No.3 on their "100 Sexiest Stars of the Twentieth Century" list.
