American actress Raquel Welch has died. Welch, who celebrated cinema success in the 1960s and 1970s and became one of the most photographed Hollywood beauties, died on Wednesday at the age of 82 after a “brief illness”. Press agency.
Born Jo Raquel Tejada in Chicago in 1940, Welch celebrated her breakthrough in 1966 with the Stone Age hit “A Million Years Before Time” – mostly thanks to her skintight fur bikini. As a cave girl Loana, the then 26-year-old became a sex symbol overnight. Welch had previously played several smaller roles, after which she celebrated numerous cinema successes.
She has collaborated with such Hollywood greats as James Stewart (“Bandolero”), Frank Sinatra (“Lady in Cement”), John Huston (“Myra Breckinridge”) and Burt Reynolds (“Death Comes Softly”). She proved her comedic talent in the comic “The Three Musketeers” (1973), for which she received the Golden Globe for Best Comedy Actress.
He was married four times and divorced four times. Her first marriage has two children, Damon and Tahnee. (sda/dpa)
