The 1966 British Adventure Fantasy film One Million Years B.C. is arguably one of the most well-known cult classics in cinema history. While the film's ahistorical premise which portrays humans and dinosaurs living at the same point in time, certainly is one reason why the feature has gone on to enjoy immense popularity for the last fifty-plus years, Raquel Welch was the real draw. The vast majority of male audience members that bought tickets to see the movie during its initial run did so to see Welch in her loincloth fur bikini, which to be honest, was quite a sight to behold.
After more than half a century, Raquel Welch, now in her eighties, has finally broken and silence and opened up about her unforgettable costume. As it turns out, while that fur bikini definitely looked great onscreen, it came at a significant cost. In fact, Welch almost died because of it. Join Facts Verse as we discuss the fascinating, albeit remarkably unexpected, the true story behind Raquel Welch's One Million Years B.C. fur bikini.
