Raquel Welch: “One Million Years B.C.,” 1966
Raquel Welch rocks the most iconic bikini in film history in “One Million Years B.C.” Clad in a doe-skin bikini, she portrays Loana, a cavewoman navigating a prehistoric world filled with dinosaurs and tribal conflicts. The film, a mix of fantasy and adventure, follows the struggles and survival of primitive humans.
Raquel’s stunning look in the film—a scanty, rugged bikini with fur accents—cemented her status as a 1960s beauty symbol. Her career began in the early 1960s with small roles, but her breakthrough came with this film. She went on to star in hits like “Fantastic Voyage,” “Bandolero!,” and “Myra Breckinridge.”
