FC/OT: RIP Raquel Welch.

[ODShowtime]

I would love to be accused of that!

I like making sure people know when I was there but dude busted her appendix! And I learned this from fox news so take it with a salt shaker.

Ugh…..

I always thought she was the most Beautiful Woman Ever.

Sucks that she has passed but that gasbag Jane Fonda is still kicking… just saying

The Goat, RIP

She was..

Interesting that Welch didn’t publicly embrace her Latina heritage until later in her career. When you see Eva Mendes they’re like twins….

I don't think it would been in her best professionial interests to do so, especially at the start of her career. But, I am only surmising.

A beautiful and talented 1960s, 1970s and 1980s model and actress. Rest In Peace Raquel Welch.

Really sad to hear. At least Raquel got to see that she was voted #1 on this message board. That probably meant a lot to her in her final days.

 

[VicVaselino]

About age 8, I remember seeing her in 1 million years BC. Even though I didn’t know what I’d do with it, I wanted it .

Quite possibly the dumbest movie ever made.

Could not have been me then....shrinkage!

She obtained notoriety when I was in junior high school. People like her always remain young in my mind. Hearing that she passed away at 82 was a jolt making me once again realize time’s passage.
One more thing, I don’t remember her ever saying or doing outrageous things. She was dignified.

Mentioned the passing of Raquel at lunch to some of the junior engineers - three blank stares back to me since they did not know who she was. I used @Midnighter's reference - she was Eva Mendes before there was an Eva Mendes.

Looks-wise; but in terms of celebrity - maybe Pam Anderson (but a better actress?)?

I can't afford to confuse them more than they already are. Let's just leave well enough alone.

Ugh…..

If you had just posted this picture, without saying who it was ... I would have 100% said it was Eva Mendes, and wouldn't have believed you if you said it was Raquel Welch, without some verification. Uncanny resemblance there.

 

[bbb2021]

I read yesterday that she never photoed nude. She didn't have to unlike some other actresses. She had every man's full attention back in the day

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Was at an American Legion this afternoon… couple of Vietnam Vets talking about her trips to entertain the troops and how gracious she was, always taking pics and signing autographs.

Thanks for your service. Glad you made it back to the world!

A$$. BEATING. ?

It really wasn’t close.

Fake. Here's an article from 2015 in which she explains why she never posed nude. She even wore a red swimsuit for her Playboy picture that Hefner called "boring."

Apparently she didn't raise her daughter the same way, as she was photographed/filmed naked multiple times, including for a Playboy shoot. Also, according to Mr. Skin, in 100 Rifles, she basically shows everything in a wet shirt shower scene, and accidentally shows *** rolling down the hill shortly thereafter.

Back to the beginning.....
The gal was pretty in her baby yrs

Raquel Welch was born Jo Raquel Tejada on September 5, 1940 in Chicago, Illinois

 

[General Tso]

I was in love with her when I was a kid. I had this poster hanging in my room.

Let me guess…..
The poster was hanging, but you weren’t. How’s your eyesight these days?

I'd be able to see the poster if I still had it.
