Raquel Welch

As you know I watch alot of television and movies and I have to say that todays "sex symbols" Have nothing on those from decades past. Through the next few days i will share some of my favorites with you.

For this post I want to just give a few facts about my first choice, Raquel Welch, in my eyes the ultimate "sex symbol".

Welch's first featured role came in the beach film A Swingin' Summer, which led to a contract with 20th Century Fox. She was subsequently cast in a leading role in the sci-fi hit Fantastic Voyage (1966), which made her a star. She was the last star created under the studio system.

Welch became one of the leading sex symbols of the 1960s and 1970s. Her most memorable publicity still for One Million Years B.C. became a bestselling poster. Playboy called her the "Most Desired Woman" of the 1970s. Despite her sex symbol persona in films and countless magazine layouts, including one for Playboy, Welch never appeared nude in a film or posed nude for a magazine.
