On the day of her son’s wedding, Raquel made a notable fashion choice, donning a chic little black dress that accentuated her cleavage. Rumors circulated that her son and daughter-in-law had clashed with her over her outfit selection.
Despite her busy career in Hollywood, Raquel Welch tried to balance motherhood and her rise to stardom. But it wasn’t easy, something she confessed to while speaking with Oprah Winfrey.
According to Raquel, her family suffered because she couldn’t spend as much time with her children as she wished.
“When I’m running around the world and being Miss Sex Symbol and having this big career in film and everything and I’m running from place to place, I couldn’t always be with my children when I wanted to be,” she said. “Eventually, I could see that this was taking its toll on my kids, and it used to just break my heart.”
Over the course of her glittering career, Welch refused to undress on camera, stating that was the way she had been raised – she even posed for Playboy without ever going nude.
A few years ago, Kim Kardashian posed in a Welch-inspired bikini during a photo shoot. And model Emily Ratajowski sent a nod to Welch via a cavewoman look during an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

In 2023, Raquel Welch passed away from cardiac arrest, according to her death certificate.
The document, obtained by TMZ, also revealed that the actress had battled Alzheimer’s disease. She was 82.
Needless to say, the internet was flooded with messages paying tribute to Welch after news of her passing became public knowledge.
Not even Kim Kardashian, with all those operations on her body, could compare herself with this beauty.
Raquel was something really special. She looked great!
