RIP Raquel.  Fantastic Voyage or One Million Years BC.  "Once you get rid of the idea that you must please other people before you please yourself, and you begin to follow your own instincts - only then can you be successful. You become more satisfied, and when you are, other people will tend to be satisfied by what you do." -Raquel |

Sad news. Will always be remembered for her iconic role in One Million Years B.C. (1966), one of Raquel's earliest film roles, was as a College Girl (uncredited) in the Elvis Presley Musical Roustabout (1964), I have always liked Fathom (1967), in which Raquel played the title role. I have got a Television Special, called Raquel! (1970), on DVD. R.I.P. Raquel Welch. www.BBC.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-64657781 |

Iconic face of the industry. She could send herself up as well though and probably had a sense of humour about her bombshell status, I mean look at Lester’s Musketeer films.
She looked well fit in that poncho in Hannie Caulder, I do know that for a fact.
I didn’t know she was ill or anything. Sad times. Another icon gone.
RIP Raquel.

"Icon" is bang on the money. Yes, she was stunningly attractive but she had talent to go with it, too.
Featured in one of my very favourite films, Bedazzled, with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.
Unforgettable. RIP.

She has admitted she was limited in her acting skills and having those in front helped her to get parts in films but I suspect there was a lot more to her than just having a pair of boobs and at times she played that bimbo look to a tee but that did not help her in the long term imo.

One of the most stunning women to ever be captured on film. She kept her beauty all her life, too, and lived a long one. Rest in peace.
