RIP Raquel Welch

Legally Blonde and Three Musketeers star Raquel Welch dies aged 82

[Boston Red]

Not sure I'd personally lead with Legally Blonde in a headline about Raquel Welch's career.

Sad to hear.

Damn... my first girlfriend

Damn... my first girlfriend

Mine was Julie Newmar, I feel you!

Sex symbol of the 60's and 70's. She still looked good at an older age too. I remember seeing her and having certain feelings that I didn't understand at a young age. RIP Raquel Welch

Friend of mine had some VHS tapes he wanted digitized, one of them was a Raquel Welch exercise tape, he said it was special.

You could make an argument she was the best looking women in the history of the world.

They better be guarding the body....lol

Wow-makes me feel old.
Back in the 1960s and 70s Raquel Welch was generally regarded as the best looking woman, ever, in the history of women.
While she was never a great actress, she gradually became a good actress. I enjoyed a number of the movies she made in her prime, and prime Raquel was often the best part of those films: 100 Rifles, Lady in Cement, Hannie Caulder, Kansas City Bomber, Fathom. R.I.P.

I'm not sure why, but Hannie Caulder was the first movie that sprang to mind. Not a great movie, but Robert Culp teaching Raquel Welch how to shoot was, well, unique. When I was growing up, Raquel Welch was the standard.

Like Andy Dufresne in Shawshank Redemption, I had Raquel Welch’s poster from One Million Years B.C. hanging in my dorm room at Ohio U circa 1970. My girlfriend (future ex-wife) was jealous over it, but I refused to take it down.

RIP Raquel. Gorgeous woman with a gorgeous spirit and she stayed that way her whole life.

And now for some surreal dancing...





Kids, you cannot begin to fathom the bizarro universe that was the 1970s.

Welch deserves some acting credit for how all over the map her filmography was. She worked with Jimmy Stewart, Ringo Starr, Richard Burton, Jim Brown, Jean-Paul Belmondo and Carrot Top.

And with Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Burt Reynolds, Ernest Borgnine, Robin Williams. One of the "what could have been" roles she missed out on was the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball. Raquel was almost cast as "Domino," the female lead role that ultimately went to Claudine Auger. The combination of Sean Connery and Raquel Welch in a Bond movie would have been a classic pairing.
