Exploring the acting career of Raquel Welch

Welch first came into the limelight for her role in Fantastic Voyage (1966), after which she won a contract with 20th Century Fox. 

She acted in One Million Years B.C. (1966). Although Welch had only three dialogues in the film, images of her in the doe-skin bikini became best-selling posters and turned her into an international s*x symbol. 

She later featured in Bedazzled (1967), Bandolero! (1968), 100 Rifles (1969), Myra Breckinridge (1970), and Hannie Caulder (1971). She acted in several television variety specials.

She won a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Actress in a Musical or Comedy in 1974 for her performance in ‘The Three Musketeers.’ She was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Television Film for her performance in the film ‘Right to Die.’ 

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.

Raquel Welch was the true definition of beauty with brains. She portrayed some powerful female characters, which helped her break the stereotype of her being a s*x symbol. 

She made her screen debut as one of the call girls in Russel Rouse’s film ‘A House Is Not a Home’ in 1964, and in the same year made an uncredited appearance in the Elvis Presley movie Roustabout.
