Raquel Welch is one of the world s great sex symbols.The Golden Globe winner has starred in more than 30 films and dozens of TV shows, appeared on Broadway, and even became a best-selling author.
And on March 11, Welch guest-stars on the hit CBS drama CSI: Miami.
But she said on CBS This Morning, she wasn t always respected because of her looks.
I tell a story...about Three Musketeers, she told Charlie Rose and Gayle King. One of the first days on set I went to the director and said, ...I ve been thinking, and he said, Don t. So from that point on I realized that I had found myself a little cul-de-sac.
But Welch soon made her mark on the industry. In fact, her famous fur swimsuit from the movie One Million Years B.C. is waiting to be hung in a Smithsonian museum, Welch said.
But when did she know she was going to be a sex symbol?
Welch said, joking, At 7.
She added, ... I wanted to be an actress and when puberty arrived, I started getting equipment and realized this could be helpful in my chosen profession.
