Raquel Welch, the iconic sex symbol, made a rare appearance in the 90210 area code just months before her unfortunate passing. In her final years, the talented actress became more reclusive, seldom seen with her Hollywood friends. However, she stepped out in July 2022 for a pampering session, marking the last time she was seen in public.
As reported by RadarOnline.com, Raquel Welch passed away at her Los Angeles home after a short illness. Her representative confirmed the sad news and described her as a legendary actress who had an impressive career spanning over 50 years. Welch starred in more than 30 films and 50 television series and appearances. In recent years, she also found great success with her line of wigs, showcasing her versatility even off-screen.
It was in July 2022 that RadarOnline.com caught a glimpse of Welch for the last time. The sixties sex symbol was spotted in Beverly Hills, casually strolling and stopping by a nail salon. She looked fashionable and radiant, flaunting her hourglass figure in a white shirt, black pants, oversized gold hoops, and a stylish fedora.
However, the outing didn’t seem to go smoothly for Welch. Photos obtained by the Daily Mail revealed her looking miserable and in pain during her pedicure session. This marked the first time she had been seen in public since September 2021, and prior to that, it had been nearly two years since any photographs of her surfaced.
Welch rose to stardom in 1966 with her unforgettable roles in “Fantastic Voyage” and “One Million Years B.C.” Her stunning appearance in the latter film solidified her status as an international sex symbol. In fact, she ranked #3 in Playboy’s 100 Sexiest Stars of the 20th Century and was listed among Empire magazine’s 1995 special issue featuring the 100 Sexiest Stars in Film History.
In 2017, Welch’s final role was playing Rosa in the one-season sitcom “Date My Dad.” Throughout her life, she was married four times and had two adult children, Tahnee and Damon Welch.
Raquel Welch’s last public outing might have been tinged with pain, but her legacy as a legendary actress and timeless beauty will forever be remembered by her fans.
