Raquel Welch in Chaps as Myra Breckinridge, 1970

Raquel Welch was the quintessential sex symbol in the 1960s and was hoping that her role as  Myra Breckinridge  would help get her more interesting parts. Unfortunately, the film - a commercial and critical flop - probably destroyed those aspirations. Nonetheless, her beauty and radiance shines through in this iconic shot by celebrity photographer Terry O'Neill.
