On ONE MILLION YEARS B.C.’s 50th anniversary, Raquel Welch told The Los Angeles Times, “Becoming an overnight sex symbol was not my plan, I can assure you. I thought, ‘This is not at all who I am,’ but then at the same time, I was thinking, ‘Maybe that’s the way fate has planned it so I could at least get aboard. Otherwise, I was a young mother, and if I would have had to wait around for a really wonderful role that more established actresses would be more likely to be cast in, I might not have been able to have a career.” | Turner Classic Movies: TCM
