RAQUEL WELCH – 79 YEARS OLD

The actress might be best remembered for her bombshell period during the ‘60s and ‘70s, but she’s not all beauty and sex appeal. She was able to show her acting prowess in films such as The Three Musketeers and Bedazzled! Raquel Welch wanted to perform since she was a child. In order to pursue her career in acting, upon graduating from high school, she won a theater arts scholarship with honors to enter San Diego State University, and since then started her acting career.

Whilst she does have a reputation for being a vixen—being stereotyped isn’t really uncommon when it comes to Hollywood and the film industry—Raquel does insist that what she does onscreen does not equate with what she does in her private life. She says the fact that she’s a sex symbol is a credit to being “the loveliest, most glamorous, and fortunate misunderstanding”.
