American actress Raquel Welch, often credited with paving the way for modern action heroines in Hollywood films, has died at the age of 82.

Her manager said she passed away peacefully on Wednesday morning after a short illness.

Welch became a global sex symbol in the 1960s and is widely remembered for playing a bikini-clad cave woman in the 1966 film “One Million Years BC.”

She also won a Golden Globe Award for her role in “The Three Musketeers” in 1974.
