Raquel Welch

Who would have thought that landing a role with just three lines can lead you to ultimate stardom? Raquel Welch clinched the iconic role of wearing a bathing suit in the British film One Million Years BC in 1966. This led her to have more roles in the ’70s, with her beauty and sex appeal being dubbed by Playboy magazine as one of the Most Desired Woman in the 1970s. In the 2000s, Raquel still had that degree of stardom and continued doing endorsements for beauty products. She was announced as MAC Cosmetics brand ambassador in 2007.

These days, the actress is remarkably single — and she likes it that way. “I’m too set in my ways,” Welch told Piers Morgan on Life Stories. “I like what I do, I actually enjoy being me and I make a very good living at it and I’m happy,” she said, explaining that she doesn’t need a man to support her.
