Ms Welch has shown remarkable versatility starring in roles opposite such mega stars as James Stewart, Bill Cosby, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Burt Reynolds, Richard Burton, Faye Dunaway, Marcello Mastroianni, Harvey Keitel and Jodie Foster, to name but a few. More recently, she appeared with Reese Witherspoon in the blockbuster Legally Blonde, and created a memorable role in the Golden Globe nominated – PBS series American Family. Last year, Raquel also co-starred in the television sitcom The Captain for CBS. Joining the likes of Catherine Deneuve and Diana Ross, Raquel Welch became the 2007 Icon Face of M.A.C. Cosmetics, creating a line of signature cosmetics, which was distributed world wide. Ms.Welch is currently lending her glamorous presence as the famous face, “behind those Foster Grants,” where she appears as their spokesperson in the new Foster Grant television commercials - now airing.
