Before today - I never knew she was a single mom! What a babe... long before the days of boob jobs, teeth jobs... probably better stop there my mind is wondering
Welch married her high school sweetheart, James Welch, on May 8, 1959, with whom she had two children, Damon Welch (born November 6, 1959) and Latanne "Tahnee" Welch (born December 26, 1961) she married 4 times, lucky men!
But what skin and what a figure Stunningly beautiful and from her many interviews, a lovely personality too. Before I got married I used to think that she was one of the hottest women ever. She was a dream. From Wiki: While her image in the 1960s was that of a torrid sex temptress, Welch's private life was quite different.Welch once famously said, "What I do on the screen is not to be equated with what I do in my private life. Privately, I am understated and dislike any hoopla." She also admitted, "I was not brought up to be a sex symbol, nor is it in my nature to be one. The fact that I became one is probably the loveliest, most glamorous, and fortunate misunderstanding." Welch posed for Playboy in 1979, but she never did a fully nude shoot. Hugh Hefner later wrote, "Raquel Welch, one of the last of the classic sex symbols, came from the era when you could be considered the sexiest woman in the world without taking your clothes off. She declined to do complete nudity, and I yielded gracefully. The pictures prove her point. "Welch refused to take all her clothes off on screen or pose naked throughout her career spanning five decades, saying this was the way she was brought up.
Raquel was born Jo Raquel Tejada in 1940, her father was named Armando Carlos Tejada Urquizo and he was from La Paz, Bolivia. Her mother was called Josephine Sarah Hall. On some photos you can see the Spanish look in her.
Me. I've never really liked excessively voluptuous women, I like lean athletically proportioned lassies, long thin legs, but wide hips are nice as well. The girl I picked had next to no trouble birthing kids while meeting all my aesthetic criteria Each to his own I went to see that movie as a child aged 6 or 7 with my parents back in 1966, 1,000,000 years BC, I remember even then thinking that a million years seemed odd, 10,000 years BC might have been better Years later we learn as we grow up and discover that dinosaurs all died 65 million years ago and that humans only looked like us and only existed in our current form for about 200,000 years, never the twain had met. Welch in some of her photos was very alluring but for me her wide jawline was less attractive as she aged, some facial features don't age well, others do.
Spanish influence,her dad was Bolivian of Spanish descent.Few Filipinas like that,my sons mum had sharp features and an aquiline nose,my son always gets mistaken for Italian or Spanish.
I don’t think there is a definitive answer to that, it will be in the mind of the individual to let their mind drift into their own thoughts. For me personally a picture like that ( the one we are referring to) is far more pleasing to the eye and evocative than the bikini clad ones, but that’s just my opinion. For me the photo conjures up expectation, mystery and femininity.
The modern day pin up or so she thinks, to me the photo is just plain vulgar and very very cheap and lacks any class
