Raquel Welch couldn’t go unnoticed if she tried. The Hollywood head-turner, whose picture affectionately adorned the walls of many a teenage boys’ bedroom in the sixties during her reign as one of the sexiest actresses in the world, has always looked spectacular.
Raquel Welch (born Jo Raquel Tejada; September 5, 1940) is an American actress and singer.
She first won attention for her role in Fantastic Voyage (1966), after which she won a contract with 20th Century Fox. They lent her contract to a British studio, for whom she made One Million Years B.C. (1966). She had only three lines in the film, yet images of her in the doe-skin bikini which she wore became best-selling posters that turned her into a celebrity sex symbol.
In January 2007, Welch was selected as the newest face of MAC Cosmetics Beauty Icon series. Her line features several limited-edition makeup shades in glossy black and tiger-print packaging. The tiger print motif of the collection celebrates Welch’s feline and sensuous image: “strong and wild, yet sultry and exotic”
