More than 500 Raquel Welch items go up for auction: bikinis, jewelry, dresses and her Golden Globe. A year after the death of the actress, who became one of Hollywood's greatest erotic myths in the seventies, Julien's Auction presents an exclusive sale inspired by her legacy.

Welch considered beauty “a crutch” on which she had built her career. She went from being virtually unknown to one of the greatest sex symbols of the 20th century in a matter of months.
