Raquel Welch
Raquel Welch established her place as a star with her starring role in the 1966 film One Million Years B.C., the film in which she wore the famous fur bikini featured below. Other films you may know her from Bandolero, 100 Rifles, Bedazzled, as well as Legally Blonde. She was awarded the “Imagen Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award” in 2001 for the promotion of her Latin heritage. As you can see, she was born to play in adventure roles!

Kristy McNichol
Kirsty McNichol made her breakthrough when she played teenager Letitia ‘Buddy’ Lawrence, in the hit US television drama Family. Even before then she featured in a number of commercials and television series, managing to get the attention of some casting directors. Before long, the teenager was being nominated for Emmy’s and Grammy’s for her performances! While she has managed to distance herself from her child star status as an independent actress, we still love her for her adorable days in classic adverts.
Kristy McNichol
In 1980, McNichol landed her first leading role in a theatrical film with her role as Angel Bright in Little Darlings. The film was a real turning point for the young actress leading many to realize she was really in the acting scene to stay. But not to be forgotten, is the fact that she was still a teenager or in her early 20s in those booming years of her career, and the pressure of being in the limelight at such a young and formative age got to her, and she eventually decided to step out of the spotlight in 2001 and retire from her acting career. We are pretty sure she made enough cash through all her hard work that she will be just fine during retirement!
