Welch “passed away quietly early Wednesday morning following a brief illness,” her manager Steve Sauer confirmed.
The actress died, leaving two children and a legacy in beauty, cinema, and television.
During her marriage to her high school sweetheart, James Welch, she gave birth to Damon Welch and Latanne “Tahnee” Welch.
Even though James and the actress divorced in 1972, she has been seen out with her children on occasion over the years.
