Raquel Welch remembered her Chicago childhood years as one thing: cold. 'That's probably why I've had an aversion to anything cold ever since, from icy drinks to frigid people.'
Raquel Welch, 72 at the time of this 2013 photograph, appearing at the Women In Film pre-Emmy Awards event in Beverly Hills.. From her teenage pageant years onward, her career was defined and in many ways confined by a gilded cage of marketable, exploitable beauty, sold primarily to men who couldn’t quite believe their eyes.
In her autobiography, Welch has little to say about those first two Chicago years, remembered as tense, warring ones between her short-fused, frequently violent father and her dutiful, long-suffering mother. Later, on screen and on Broadway, Welch got to actually act and stretch out and take her looks beyond what everyone could see at first glance.
