Another Icon gone. As kids my brother and I had posters of her on our wall. May she RIP.
US actress Raquel Welch, often credited with paving the way for modern day action heroines in Hollywood films, has died at the age of 82.
The star passed away peacefully on Wednesday morning after a brief illness, her manager said.
Welch became an international sex symbol in the 1960s, widely remembered for playing a bikini-clad cavewoman in the 1966 film One Million Years B.C.
She also won a Golden Globe for her role in 1974's The Three Musketeers.
Born Jo-Raquel Tejada in 1940, Welch grew up in California, where she won teen beauty pageants and later became a local weather forecaster.
I remember her being the weather girl on a local San Diego news station, when I was a kid.
I was more of an Ann Margaret fan.
She was a weather girl? I would have been a big fan of weather as a kid. So beautiful and iconic. RIP gorgeous.😥
