She was a beauty!

I think this was the poster in 'Shawshank Redemption'. It was from one of her early movies, 'One Million BC'.

She was a major part of my puberty!

She was a very active actress in the 60s and 70s, by the 80s she was brushed over and dropped out of the scene.
She was one of the last "Marylyn Monroe" types - actresses who were exceptionally beautiful but no talent to match it. You might be able to say Pamela Anderson was the very last.

What a great documentary.

She was lovely and a classy lady. She outlived her daughter Tahnee.

Ms. Welch had the leading role in Myra Breckinridge, which she would have never received in the current cancel culture.

The role was that of a transwoman, and Welch was a natural dame.
