Raquel Welch is an American actress and singer. She was first noticed for her role in Fantastic Voyage, then she won a contract with 20th Century Fox.

She went on to star in Bedazzled, Bandolero !, 100 Rifles, Myra Breckinridge and Hannie Caulder. She has directed several TV specials. Welch's unique cinematic character made her an icon of the 1960s and 1970s, thanks to her portrayal of strong female characters and breaking the stereotype of the sex symbol archetype. This is why her fame in the mid-1960s would have partly ended Hollywood's strong popularity with blondes.
