Jo Raquel Welch (née Tejada; September 5, 1940 – February 15, 2023) was an American actress. Welch first garnered attention for her role in Fantastic Voyage (1966), after which she signed a long-term contract with 20th Century Fox. They lent her contract to the British studio Hammer Film Productions, for whom she made One Million Years B.C. (1966). Although Welch had only three lines of dialogue in the film, images of her in the doe-skin bikini became bestselling posters that turned her into an international sex symbol. She later starred in Bedazzled (1967), Bandolero! (1968), 100 Rifles (1969), Myra Breckinridge (1970), Hannie Caulder (1971), Kansas City Bomber (1972), The Last of Sheila (1973), The Three Musketeers (1973), The Wild Party (1975), and Mother, Jugs & Speed (1976). She made several television variety specials. Through her portrayal of strong female characters, helping her break the mold of the traditional sex symbol, Welch developed a unique film persona that made her an icon of the 1960s and 1970s. Her rise to stardom in the mid-1960s was partly credited with ending Hollywood's vigorous promotion of the blonde bombshell.[1][2][3] Her love scene with Jim Brown in 100 Rifles also made cinematic history with their portrayal of interracial intimacy.[4] She won a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Actress in a Musical or Comedy in 1974 for her performance as Constance Bonacieux in The Three Musketeers and reprised the role in its sequel the following year. She was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Television Film for her performance in Right to Die (1987). Her final film was How to Be a Latin Lover (2017). In 1995, Welch was chosen by Empire magazine as one of the "100 Sexiest Stars in Film History". Playboy ranked Welch No. 3 on their "100 Sexiest Stars of the Twentieth Century" list.

for Nancy Fowler Archer in Untitled Attack of the 50 Foot Woman Sequel
Suggested by josephmcnulty

There was a sequel to the 1958 film Attack of the 50 Foot Woman was written, but apparently it's lost to time. Unknown release date, actors, and the plot. This has nothing to do with the crossover sequel that I made, reused the same plot, nor the What If. It also remains unknown if the script was written. It was to be produced with a higher budget and in color. There is a poster of sorts where it, the poster, says Revenge of the 50 Foot Woman, remember the poster has nothing to do with the Lost Sequel. Because it's actually from an abandoned mid-80s remake that was going to star Sybil Danning in the lead role, then the poster during the same time was given the title for some reason. For this theoretical film it was rather difficult to figure what year, because Allison Hayes pretty much stopped being in movies, she was only in five movies from 1960-1965 while the other credits were TeleVision episodes from 1960-1967 where she stopped acting all together, then past away in 1977 of lead poisoning at the age of 46. As for Ken Terrell he stopped acting in 1962 and died in 1966. So, I did decide on the early 1960s. After being electrocuted killing herself and her cheating husband, however, the electrocution really did kill Harry Archer, but as for Nancy it put her into a coma and was taken to a Military base. Nancy wakes up for the first time in years. An old enemy of hers is after her to finish what he started years ago. Nancy will fight for what he wants. She'll die for it!
