Raquel Welch Once Threatened Her Dad with a Fire Poker After He Threw Milk in Her Mom's Face: 'He Backed Down


Raquel Welch's relationship with her "gentle" mother and "tyrannical" father is explored in the new documentary 'I am Raquel Welch'.

As the new CW documentary I Am Raquel Welch convincingly points out, the late actress, who died in 2023 at age 82, was also the first female action star. Movies like 1968's Bandolero!, 1969's 100 Rifles and 1971's Hannie Caulder demanded an intense athleticism from her that wasn't typically required of actresses during that period. Luis I. Reyes, author Viva Hollywood, tells a story of an altercation Welch had with her father that ended up being a pivotal moment in their relationship.
