Ms. Welch, 76, became an icon in the 1960s and ’70s for her roles as sexy, but strong heroines. One of the most well-known images of her is in a doeskin bikini for the film "One Million Years B.C.," one of many scantily clad portrayals of the star.

In 1998, Playboy ranked Ms. Welch No. 3 in its "Sexiest Stars of the Twentieth Century" list, and Men’s Health awarded her No. 2 in its 2011 "Hottest Women of All Time."

The Hollywood siren bought the 6,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style villa in 1997 through her longtime financial adviser for $2 million, according to property records. A year later, she set to work updating the property, last renovated in 1998, records show.

Ms. Welch owned the property for eight years until 2005, when she sold it to Dr. Robert Rey, the star of E!’s plastic surgery reality show "Dr. 90210," and his family, according to property records. She now lives in a different red-clay roofed mansion about eight miles away in Beverly Crest.
