She was a sex symbol too, Rest in Peace Lady?!!

Raquel Welch, a longtime actress, international sex symbol and Golden Globe winner, has died, PEOPLE confirms. She was 82.

Welch "passed away peacefully early this morning after a brief illness," her manager Steve Sauer confirmed to PEOPLE on Wednesday.

Sauer added, "Her career spanned over 50 years starring in over 30 films and 50 television series and appearances. The Golden Globe winner, in more recent years, was involved in a very successful line of wigs. Raquel leaves behind her two children, son Damon Welch and her daughter Tahnee Welch."

TMZ was first to report the news.

Welch made her film debut in the mid 1960s, with breakout roles in 1966's Fantastic Voyage and One Million Years B.C. that same year.

She would go on to star in dozens of films, including 1973's The Three Musketeers, which earned her a Golden Globe for best actress in a motion picture comedy or musical.

I remember her in a roller derby movie, too.

Perhaps not a world class thespian, but nonetheless an exceptional specimen of human femineity.

No its is not...82 is a fine run.....she had a very good life.....that is winning.

A very good looking pro family actress who refused to take all of her clothes off when most of the other sex symbol actresses were.

Nope she worked at a hotel bar on Stemons freeway.

Born Jo-Raquel Tejada in 1940, Welch grew up in California, where she won teen beauty pageants and later became a local weather forecaster. During a brief stint in Dallas, Texas, the divorced mother-of-two modelled for the Neiman Marcus clothing store and worked as a cocktail waitress.

She always claimed that the breasts were real. The fake ones were approved for use only a year before she moved to LA making the claim that they were fake hard to believe.

Nope if you look at pics of her in her waitress uniform she wasn't as blessed as she was in her caveman bikini.

When was that? I always thought they were natural.

That was a remake of the Chinese film "Eat Drink Man Woman" directed by Ang Lee. Both excellent films in my humble opinion.

Donald Sutherland said Jane Fonda had the best breasts ever but Raquel's golden orbs were in a league of their own.
