A genuine icon. A truly beautiful woman in her day.

Hollywood star Raquel Welch, who became an international sex symbol in the 1960s, has died aged 82.

Welch died on Wednesday morning after a brief illness, according to her manager.

She won a Golden Globe Award for her performance in 1974's The Three Musketeers and was nominated again in 1987 for the film Right to Die.

The American is often credited with breaking the mould for modern day action heroines in Hollywood films.

Sad news.

Before botox, lip fillers, and boob jobs. One of the most naturally beautiful women ever.

 

[Dylan]

One of the original Hollywood bombshells.

She was quite uncomfortable about being seen as a sex symbol, once saying she "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," she added.

She had as much class as she had beauty and she was pretty much the benchmark in beauty.
