The daughter of a Bolivian father, and a mother who could trace her ancestry back to the Mayflower, Jo Raquel Tejada was born in Chicago on September 5, 1940. Her family relocated to San Diego, where young Raquelita took ballet and acting lessons.
She competed in beauty contests as a teenager, and was crowned Miss Fairest of the Fair, Miss Maid of California, and Miss Contour, a title that would accurately foreshadow what much of her early career was built upon.
