The world lost an iconic actress and arguably one of the most famous sex symbols in history when Raquel Welch died Tuesday in her Los Angeles home at the age of 82.

Welch amassed a worldwide fanbase over the course of her decades-long career and is remembered as a legend who stayed true to her own moral compass and relied on her natural sex appeal without ever appearing nude in any of her films or photo shoots. The legendary actress left an unforgettable footprint in the world of entertainment, and fans are looking back at some of her hottest, most jaw-dropping movie roles.

The Three Musketeers

Welch turned up the heat in this 1973 hit by combining her sultry persona with her snappy comedic skills. The actress won a Golden Globe for her work in this film. Fans were treated to a food fight between Welch and Faye Dunaway, and got a taste of romance when Welch was romanced by Michael York.

100 Rifles

In this 1969 Western, which starred Burt Reynolds, Welch pushed boundaries in her interracial love scene with former NFL star Jim Brown and left a lasting impression on fans with a steamy shower scene.

Fantastic Voyage

Welch’s breakthrough role in the Fantastic Voyage put her on the map and started to draw in fans. The movie centered around a scientist that developed a way to shrink humans and other objects for short spurts of time.

One Million Years, B.C.

The epic image of Welch’s character as a prehistoric warrior in a deerskin bikini is forever engrained in the fabric of movie history. Welch, who had just three lines in the film, rose to new heights with her role as Loana in this 1966 film. (RELATED: Megan Fox Claps Back At Haters Who Accuse Her Of Over-Sexualizing Herself)

Fathom

Welch played professional skydiver Fathom Harvill in this 1967 spy flick. She became entangled with Scottish secret agent Douglas Campbell on a top secret mission, and treated fans to a leggy display of fun on the beach, a skimpy yellow bikini and an intense romance.

Bedazzled

Welch played Lillian Lust in this devilish 1967 film set in London. Welch oozed sex appeal in the tantalizing flick and toyed with fans as she peeled off her dress and recited an epic line they won’t soon forget. “I find clothes so constricting. We must allow our pores to breathe. Can you hear my pores breath?” she asked Dudley Moore.

Legally Blonde

Welch made a cameo appearance in this 2001 film and showed the new generation of actors how a legend does it. Playing the role of Mrs. Windham-Vandermark, Welch graced the screen with her signature charm and stunning good looks, and carried herself in the way that only a seasoned professional could.

BONUS: “Seinfeld Cameo”

Welch graced the set of Seinfeld for the hilarious season 8 finale episode titled “The Summer of George.” She played an exaggerated version of herself who threatens to feed someone’s genitals to a wolf, much to the dismay of Kramer, who overhears the threat.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
