Raquel Welch - Then
Welch's career was launched into fame when she published her debut book, "Raquel: The Raquel Welch Total Beauty and Fitness Program." It combined aerobics, yoga, and lifestyle tips. She also starred in the 1960s film "Fantastic Voyage," which earned her a contract with 20th Century Fox. She had an enviable body that made the front of all the movie's posters.
Raquel Welch - Now
Raquel Welch was a pioneer in strong leading female film roles. She wanted to break the "damsel in distress" mold, and she did. Her appearance in "The Three Musketeers" was so profound that she won a Golden Globe. Playboy ranked her as the third of 100 "Hottest Stars of the Twentieth Century."
