Raquel Welch – Born in 1940
Actress Raquel Welch was a major star of the ’60s and “70s thanks to her roles in films like “Fantastic Voyage” and “One Million Years B.C.” She broke the mold for women who looked like her and became famous for playing strong female characters, which contributed to eradicating Hollywood’s long-standing obsession with blonde bombshells.
She was a household name back then and topped many “Hottest Stars” lists. Her other notable roles are in films like “CSI: Miami” and “American Family.” Despite a lengthy filmography from the ’60s to 2010s, Welch has not appeared in a movie since 2017’s “Date My Dad,” in which she portrayed Rosa.
