Raquel Welch: US actress and model dead at 82
 

Hollywood star Raquel Welch, who became an international sex symbol in the 1960s, has died aged 82.

Welch died on Wednesday morning after a brief illness, according to her manager.

She won a Golden Globe Award for her performance in 1974's The Three Musketeers and was nominated again in 1987 for the film Right to Die.

The American is often credited with breaking the mould for modern day action heroines in Hollywood films.

---------------------------------------

I watched all her films in the early days

She was huge back in the day and synonymous with big boobs for some reason, great actress

hmmm feel like i might have heard her name before.

Yup…she was an icon of her day.

Not familiar as to many of her films.

I have seen the whatever .... 'million years BC' film.
Not that there was any real dialogue in it.

Sounds like she had a long and good career.
R.I.P.

She helped Andy Defresne escape from Shawshank.

RIP

A proper Hollywood icon. RIP.

I remember watching her in 1Million Years BC as a kid one weekend and being just totally infatuated with her. A real beauty.
