Hollywood has lost one of its biggest stars. Actress Raquel Welch died Wednesday in Los Angeles at the age of 82. After a “short illness”, as her management announced.
The last time the ’60s (“One Million Years Before Time”) movie sex symbol was seen in public was seven months before her death. When she treated herself to a manicure in Beverly Hills.
Most recently, the actress, who has been married four times and has two children, lived in seclusion. When photographers spotted her here in Beverly Hills in July 2022, a few pictures were snapped immediately
In a white jumper, with dark pants, a hat, sunglasses and chic earrings, the film diva made her way to a nail salon. There she had her nails brought into shape. For almost three hours.
Apparently her appearance was still important to the woman, who won several beauty contests as a teenager and initially worked as a photo model before beginning her acting career, even in old age. This also shows that she had made up her face nicely before she left the house at the time.
And even if she grimaced painfully one or the other time during the manicure, she left the beauty salon in July 2022 radiant and satisfied, as you can see on more photos sees that the “Daily Mail” published.
Raquel Welch, who has also had a lifelong interest in yoga and fitness, seemed in good shape. Leafed through magazines. Let yourself be pampered. joked Nobody would have thought that only seven months later the Hollywood icon would be mourned.

Welch was “sleek, professional and incredibly glamorous.” “Simply stunning, simply gorgeous.”
