Raquel Welch died on Wednesday February 15 at the age of 82. The American actress had shot in forty films. A busy career but too often limited to her physical appearance, as she herself regretted.
On Hollywood Boulevard (USA)Itribute to Raquel Welch is a crown of flowers and a photo in a bikini, an image that will never have left him. The actress embodied, in the 60s and 70s, the sex symbol par excellence, the woman reduced to a plastic dream, which drives men crazy, which she herself has sometimes regretted. After being crowned Miss Photogeny, then Miss California, the cinema recruited her. She wears the first bikini in the history of mankind, first success.
A cinema icon
The following year, in a white dress and in a crowd, it was in Paris that she married her producer. “I never really thought of myself as a sex symbol. I wear this image above my head and around my neck, but in fact it is because of my first roles and the rest of my career”she said. Rachel Welch has also embodied a woman of character in the cinema. Alongside Belmondo, Mastroianni or Frank Sinatra, Raquel Welch was an icon of cinema.
