Raquel Welch’s black-satin bustier set off a metal detector last week at O’Hare Airport, and the actress had to undergo a patdown search.

“It was hilarious,” Welch’s publicist, Julie Nathanson, said today. “Every alarm in the hemisphere went off.”

Welch was once dubbed the “Most Desired Woman” of the 1970s by Playboy magazine. She’s known for her roles in movies including “Fantastic Voyage” and “One Million Years B.C.”

Wikipedia: "Welch became one of the leading sex symbols of the 1960s and 1970s."

It fails to mention her tour through Vietnam with Bob Hope (Short blue skirt & knit white top, and I was the guy in the audience holding an M-16 and wearing green.), though there is You Tube like to one of those shows at the very bottom.

I’ll bet she didn’t get arrested for waving her arms at a TSA agent.

I had forgotten that “bustier” was a supportive contraption. I was thinking of it as a comparative adjective, as in “Rachel was bustier than (fill in less endowed actress here).”

**LOL** How funny !! About the Metal Detectors and the pat down.

Raquel is one of the very few celebs who is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.
We just love her.

70 ?? WOW !

She is one of the few Hollywood hotties I think got better and better with age. Sort of like Sophia in that regard. It’s that “something”.

"...her tour through Vietnam with Bob Hope (Short blue skirt & knit white top, and I was the guy in the audience holding an M-16 and wearing green.)"

Trust me (even after 43 years), the skirt (what there was of it) was blue. I'm impressed with my ability to remember the things that really count ("knit", I remembered knit!, she obviously made an impression).
