We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Hollywood legend Raquel Welch at 82. Known for her beauty, charm, and unforgettable roles, she was a symbol of glamour in the entertainment world. Her manager, Steve Sauer, confirmed she passed away peacefully after a brief illness.

Welch’s career spanned over 50 years, with more than 30 films and 50 TV shows. In recent years, she also found success with her own line of wigs.

Born in Chicago in 1940, Welch discovered her passion for acting early. She rose to fame in the 1960s, but her breakthrough came with her role as “Loana the Fair One” in One Million Years B.C. (1966). Though hesitant about the “dinosaur movie,” her fur bikini look made her an international icon.

In 1973, Welch won a Golden Globe for The Three Musketeers. Known for playing strong, confident women, she showcased her versatility in Westerns, comedies, and international films.
