Apr 15, 2023
In the 1960s, Raquel Welch became a Hollywood bombshell. Over the next several decades, she succeeded on television, on Broadway, and as an entrepreneur. In her autobiography, Welch upholds dignity and respect, asking people to go "Beyond the Cleavage."
Welch believed that women should be extraordinary and magnificent on and off screen. In 1981, she met novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand to discuss performing the role of heroine Dagny Taggart in the proposed film version of Atlas Shrugged.
