Raquel Welch RIP 1940-2023
Welch has passed away according to reports today due to a brief illness.
She was 82.
She was 82.
A good period to live in. You live most of your life in the postwar boom. You miss WWII. Korea happens when you're in your teens. You're too old to go to 'Nam. In your life, the sound barrier is broken, we go to the moon, practical computers are created, and you could drive a car just about anywhere, or take a plane.
82 is a good run. I can't imagine wanting to be a paper-skinned centenarian laboring just to breathe. You beat the average life-span, but you don't hang on for too long.
And if you were her, you were rich, privileged, and an icon of beauty. Don't cry for Raquel. Cry for yourself. She kicked your ass.
You're too old to go to 'Nam.

I just heard about this on the news. She was certainly one of the hottest women of her day. I still remember her in Playboy.

Some wonderful Dick Cavett clips featuring Raquel. Janis is pretty cute in this one too.

Not sure to whom you’re referring (strange eulogy btw), but Raquel did go to Vietnam in 1967 to entertain the troops with Bob Hope. And they sure were entertained.

Hard to believe. I just watched the bits with her from Bedazzled (1967) when it aired on TCM last week.

I haven't seen Raquel Welch in much, but I do remember how really popular she was back when I was in school. The times I did see her was on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, she seemed like a really cool person. She'll be missed.

Crap, can't find her "Kansas City Bomber" flick. Always my third fave after "Fantastic Voyage" & "Fathom".
