Raquel Welch (On Cross)
Terry O'Neill
Raquel Welch, called by Playboy magazine the "Most Desired Woman" of the '70s, is captured being crucified while wearing nothing but a loin-cloth on the set of the 1970 film, Myra Breckenridge. The photo was devised for the poster of One Million Years BC and reflected O'Neill's view that the Sixties were a decade that "crucified" the ideal of womanhood because it valued women only for their sexuality.
