There was a thread about an early 80's appearance of Raquel Welch on the Tonight Show right at the end of last year, it had been so long since her name had been mentioned. It was shocking to read that she passed away this morning at the age of 82.

A pretty fair comedic actress, and was able to poke fun at her own image. RIP.

The sexy actresses of the 60s have shown unusual longevity. Still with us: Angie Dickinson (91), Julie Newmar (89), Joan Collins (89), Sophia Loren (88), Brigitte Bardot (88), Ursula Andress (86), Shirley Eaton (86), Jane Fonda (85), Claudia Cardinale (84), Ann-Margret (82), Jill St. John (82), Elke Sommer (82), Britt Ekland (82).

Welch was absolutely stunning. Certainly got the most out of what she had.

Interesting that Alan Brady above said she poked fun at her own image. She was actually notorious for being impossible to work with chiefly because she was so obsessed with her own image and threw tantrums when she thought she wasn't being filmed from the best angle or didn't look glamorous enough, even when she wasn't supposed to look glamorous. She was told by directors that she'd be much more successful as an actor if she wasn't so concerned with how she looked but she never changed.

She he hasn't been seen much in public lately and I always surmised that she was too vain to be seen in her old age, but that's just a guess.

Long list, but it is missing a famous one: Barbara Eden.

Also missing Rita Moreno.

I wonder if she had any children. She had two. I couldn't imagine having sex with this woman. For me, I would be so utter elated, it would have been like hitting Powerball and then pass out in pure elation before starting the act.

She did not have any grandchildren however.

Unfortunately, we lost another beautiful actress from this era yesterday. Stella Stevens most famous for her roles in The Nutty Professor and The Poseidon Adventure, passed away at 84...
