    Raquel Welch: A life in pictures

    The US actress and model Raquel Welch has died at the age of 82.
    Born Jo-Raquel Tejada, she was a divorced mother-of-two before returning to California to win her first acting break.
    She became an international sex symbol after her breakout role in the 1966 film One Million Years B.C. She went on to win a Golden Globe and publish a memoir in 2010.
    This is her life in pictures.




    In one of her earliest hits, she appears in the 1966 film Fantastic Voyage



    Though she only had a few lines as Loana in One Million Years B.C., she quickly rose to stardom



    Welch met Queen Elizabeth II at a royal film performance

    In 1968 she played Kit Forrest alongside Frank Sinatra in Lady in Cement



    Welch also played a transgender star in the 1970 comedy Myra Breckinridge



    Welch's performance in The Three Musketeers movie won her a Golden Globe



    In one of her most demanding roles, Welch played a woman with a degenerative illness in Right To Die - a 1987 drama, which saw her nominated for a Golden Globe



    In 1996, she was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame




    She wrote a memoir called Raquel: Beyond the Cleavage, in which she opened up about her childhood and being a single mother in Hollywood

    I thought you didn’t want to hammer YoungBill? I think you need a timeout to reassess things as you enter the golden years.
