  2. There goes that fantasy. She was smoking hot. Just watched her and Robert Culp take down some sleaze balls. Good movie.

    1. Not at 82, they won't. There's too many young people nowadays dying for that blame.

  8. My favorite story about her was from an interview she did for some magazine. They asked her about her refusal to be photographed nude. She thought for a second and blushed.
    "There was one time I was doing a show in Brazil, singing and dancing. Well there was a 'wardrobe mishap' and the strap holding up her dress snapped and the entire front of her costume fell below her waist. Exposing her entire torso. I quickly and calmly refastened the strap and covered myself."
    With a visible jerk the various photogs at the show blinked and looked at the cameras in their hands. It turned out that not one of them had snapped a picture of Raquel's 'charms'.
    They were all mesmerized and stunned during her brief exposure.

    Now that's a tribute.

    1. I'm not sure I believe that. There had to have been at least a couple of horndogs, who 1) had respect, and 2) kept it for their spank bank.

  10. very few people can walk into a room and lighten it up. she could walk into a stadium and light it up. I remember guys talking about her doing USO shows with Bob Hope back in the 1980's. a true classic lady in every sense of the word.
    knew a MSG who was in a hospital and she came thru and talked with all of the wounded
    and held their hand. he was a young SPC4 at the time and he recalled it fondly.

  13. I saw her on TV years ago. She had tall boots and sang a song. She also did some kind of dance. Up until then I thought she was just a sex symbol. To my surprise she really was a talented dancer and singer.

    1. Get real. She was 82 years old. Most people are lucky to live that long.
      I wonder about the deaths of younger people, wondering if they got the jab. People in their 70s and 80s, not so much.

  19. Saw her in Fantastic Voyage. Sure knew how to wear a wet suit! Always a favorite!

  20. R. Welsh was a good conservative woman. She was beauty and brains. Sad to see her go. Reminds me of how close behind her I am at 80 ... no jabs for me.

  21. I don't remember ever hearing a bad word about her. A class act and beautiful too.
