Family Tree

Tahnee Welch, the daughter of renowned actress Raquel Welch, was born in 1961 in San Diego, California. From a young age, she spent her formative years between Spain, England and Italy, and at 16 left home to pursue her acting career. After a stint of odd jobs, she moved to New York and studied acting, before heading to Italy where she starred in the lead role of Amarsi un po'... (1984) opposite Virna Li. Tahnee is the younger sister of Damon Welch and, like her mother, is an international sex symbol. Her mother's iconic appearance in One Million Years B.C. (1966) produced the most definitive and best-selling pin-up poster of that time and saw Tahnee assume the throne of Marilyn Monroe, the reigning '60s international sex symbol, who passed away in 1962.
