What are your memories of this famous actress; was it 1,000,000 B.C. or was it from Fantastic Voyage?

I’m finding out about her death here. Oh, how sad!

She was impossibly beautiful. I remember Fantastic Voyage. It was truly fascinating to my boyhood self.

RIP

Aw, no. She was such an iconic part of 60s and 70s film lore. My Dad had a crush on her and called her “Rackle”. He knew better, but he enjoyed teasing my mom.

RIP, Rackle…

Awwww….Imo, she’s the epitome of a ‘babe’. I had the biggest girl-crush on her in my teens and 20s.

RIP babe.

My dad had a crush on her as well. My mom used to tease him about her. She was very beautiful.

One Million Years BC, Fantastic Voyage, 100 Rifles, and Mother, Jugs and Speed are my favorites of hers. I was never a fan of the campy things like Bedazzled and Myra Breckenridge, but that’s what she was reduced to.

And the Seinfeld where Kramer had to fire her

I have never forgotten the sight of Raquel Welch running through the waves in One Million Years BC though it seems like a million years ago. I liked Fantastic Voyage too but she didn’t impress me as much in that film. RIP Raquel

SA-LUTE! Probably my most famous liked actress. Glad she made the average age for women. Am missing you!

I am JUST BARELY young enough that Raquel Welch was kind of ‘yesterdays news’ by the time I reached the age when I might have been all that aware of her. When I saw her in parts, they were usually small, and she was usually more of a matronly figure. And I remember being like “Oh, THIS is who I’ve heard so much about?”

When I was a teen, there wasn’t a male’s bedroom wall that she didn’t adorn. She was beautiful & as far as I’m concerned, she still was at the end of her life considering that she was 82 years old!!! My first introduction to her was in 1M BC.

Wish we knew what happened. All I have heard is that she passed from a brief illness?
