Born Sept. 5, 1940, in Chicago, she moved to California in 1942, growing up in the San Diego area.Welch worked as a model and TV weather girl before her 1964 film debut; in 1966, she was cast in the part that solidified her sex symbol status: One Million Years B.C. After appearances in Lady in Cement (1968) and 100 Rifles (1969), Welch played her first starring role in Myra Breckenridge (1970).
