Welch first rose to fame for her back-to-back roles in "Fantastic Voyage" and "One Million Years B.C." -- both in 1966.

Welch only had a handful of lines in 'B.C.' but it was her wardrobe -- a simple and skimpy deerskin bikini -- that catapulted her to sex symbol status.
As a woman, I saw her her as a beautiful woman......and she never appeared vulgar, sexy but not vulgar.
Reat in Peace Raquel, we are going to miss you.

She was a big deal in my town here. She went to the same high school as my daughter did - many years earlier of course! I think some of her family members still live around here.
She was a class act - I saw an interview with her on CNN and I was quite impressed.
