The racks at Warwick’s Books in La Jolla were stacked high with copies of “Raquel: Beyond the Cleavage” on Monday night when former San Diegan and reluctant sex symbol Raquel Welch made an in-store appearance to sign her new autobiography.

“Age is really just an attitude,” says legendary bombshell Raquel Welch, who has starred in over 40 films, tv shows, and Broadway plays. “When you don’t have anything that inspires you, you often give up on your life, and that’s when you age.” From model, actress, Broadway star to mother, wife, business woman and author Raquel Welch dishes out the brains behind the beauty, the potion behind the motion, and the best-kept beauty secrets to live a healthy-fit life on WOR’s The Joan Hamburg Show.

Raquel Welch has been a screen siren for more than 40 years. The Golden Globe-winning actress has starred in more than 45 films, appeared in numerous TV roles and received critical acclaim for her work on Broadway. She's also an activist for women's rights and health issues, and has produced a fitness program and her own lines of wigs and beauty products. Welch's accomplishments earned her the '01 Imagen Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award, honoring recipients for their positive promotion of Americans of Latin heritage.
