“ And Raquel was good in Barbarella, too!”

You’re thinking of Jane Fonda. Raquel wasn’t in Barbarella.

I love her even more now. RIP. From Wikipedia.

At the 1973 Academy Awards, before she announced the Best Actress winner, Welch said: "I hope the winner doesn't have a cause." This comment was a snide remark in reference to Marlon Brando's earlier decision to send Sacheen Littlefeather as an emissary to decline the Best Actor award that he won for his performance in The Godfather.

In 2014, during an appearance on The O'Reilly Factor, Welch described herself as being on the conservative side, attributing it to her mother's midwestern values. During the Vietnam War, Welch showed her support for the troops at United Service Organizations (USO) shows.

It's a movie that has Welch, Bill Cosby and Harvey Keitel in the same ambulance.

Have the audience guess which was which.

Bedazzled, the first version with Dudley Moore, and Peter Cook as the devil. Very funny movie. Raquel Welch played one of the Seven Deadly Sins, and I’ll bet you can guess which one.

I just recorded it a few nights ago. Maybe I’ll watch it tonight.

Peter Cook doesn't get enough recognition, he paved the way for Monty Python.

I agree. Dudley Moore, though, wasn’t nearly as funny as he tried to be.

She had that problem with her dancing. Elaine’s co-worker had the arm swing issue when walking.🤣
