The actor who rose to prominence in the 1960s wasn’t just a Hollywood bombshell. Check out photos of Raquel Welch with her family, including her ex-husbands and two kids, here.
Before becoming a Hollywood legend, Raquel Welch was a trained ballerina, beauty queen, and eventually, an actress. Her breakthrough came in the 1960s with roles in Fantastic Voyage (1966) and One Million Years B.C. (1966). It was the latter, where she famously wore a doe-skin bikini, that turned her into an international sex symbol. By the time she became a global sensation, Raquel was already a mother. She had two children with her first husband, James Welch, whom she married shortly after high school. The two later divorced in 1964, and Raquel went on to marry Patrick Curtis, André Weinfeld, and Richard Palmer, respectively.
The actress passed away on February 15, 2023, at the age of 82, following a brief, previously unreported illness. But you can still see more photos of her and her family below.
