Raquel Welch attended San Diego State University, seeking a career in acting.
This led to a job forecasting weather at a local San Diego television station. After various stints modeling and serving cocktails, she finally caught a break in the acting world.
Welch first made an impact in the spotlight for her role in “Fantastic Voyage.” She played a leading part, portraying a medical person who was shrunken to enter the body of a diplomat with the task of saving his life.
Raquel Welch in Fantastic Voyage was a huge step in her career, as it immediately made her a star. After the movie was released, young Raquel Welch received a contract with 20th Century Fox which was soon transferred to a British Studio so she could be a part of “One Million Years B.C.”
Why did Raquel Welch wear wigs? Were Raquel Welch’s wigs good quality?

After becoming the Creative Director, Welch had this to say about her vision: “As the Creative Director of the world’s finest wig company, I have the privilege of working with a brilliant team of designers and stylists to develop my collections.
