Career: Welch's first major acting role was in the film A Swingin' Summer (1965). Her big break came a year later when she played the lead in popular sci-fi film Fantastic Voyage (1966). In the same year, she created a stir by wearing only a two-piece deer skin bikini in One Million Years BC (1966). A publicity still of her in the bikini became a best-selling poster and she has been regarded as an international sex symbol ever since. She later starred in Bedazzled (1967), 100 Rifles (1969) and The Three Musketeers (1973), for which she won a Golden Globe. In 1970, she joined forces with Tom Jones for a TV song-and-dance special. She struggled to capture her early success on the big screen and made a number of flops. She continued to act in TV movies and made guest appearances in a number of shows. More recently, she starred in American Family, Welcome to the Captain and CSI: Miami. In 2001, she had a supporting role in popular film comedy Legally Blonde.
