Raquel Welch’s kids mourn the death of their mom. Raquel Welch, an iconic actress known for films such as Fantastic Voyage and One Million Years B.C., passed away at the age of 82 on February 15 after a brief, undisclosed illness.
Welch married her first husband, James Welch, who was her high school sweetheart, in 1959. They had two children together – Damon and Latanne Rene “Tahnee” before their marriage ended five years later.
Welch’s next marriage to Patrick Curtis yielded a career in the entertainment business for both of their children – Damon and Tahnee. Unfortunately, the union ended in divorce eight years later.
The actress went on to marry twice more – film producer Andre Weinfeld (divorced in 1990) and comedian Rich Palmer (divorced in 2008). She was reportedly single when she died.
Raquel Welch’s legacy lives on through her two children, who were left behind after her death.
Who is Raquel Welch’s son, Damon Welch?
Welch gave birth to her first child, Damon Welch, in November 1959 with her husband, James Welch.
Damon was featured at various public events with his mother, such as the 46th Academy Awards, where Welch presented in April 1974, and the 39th Annual Emmy Awards in September 1987.
In June 1991, Damon married Rebecca, much to the surprise of his mom, who stunned everyone by wearing a low-cut black dress to the wedding, which reportedly caused tensions between them.
On the day of her star ceremony on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1996, Damon was present to show his mother his unwavering support. The two embraced and posed for a few pictures that captured their affection for one another.
Raquel Welch’s daughter, Tahnee, is a successful model
Latanne “Tahnee” Welch, the second child and first daughter of Raquel and James Welch, was born on December 26, 1961.
She pursued a successful career in modeling and acting, including appearances in British GQ, Italian Vogue, and Vogue.
Her star turn came with Ron Howard’s Cocoon and its sequel, Cocoon: The Return. Tahnee also often accompanied her mother at public events, such as the premier party for Scarface in 1983 and the gala opening night for Victor/Victoria on Broadway.
Her high-profile presence demonstrated Tahnee’s commitment to furthering her career and that of her celebrated mother.
In her prior interview with Oprah Winfrey, Megapreneur and bestselling author Jacki Welch revealed how early in her career, she had a negative impact on her family life.
Welch discussed that over time she has worked to repair the relationships with her children, highlighting the dedication and effort it has taken to reach a new understanding between them.
She stands as an example for many of the difficult choices that business professionals have to make, emphasizing how each choice has the potential to affect one’s personal life.
Despite the long healing process needed to create a sense of unity within her family again, Welch remains dedicated to continue working on it while at the same time striving towards helping many others achieve financial success.
