She always made time for Bob Hope and the Troops!
Raquel Welch should have a Medal of Freedom award if she doesn't already.

Raquel Welch has made her peace with Loana, the scantily clad cave woman she played in the 1966 camp classic "One Million Years B.C." The poster of Welch wearing pelts in strategic places made her a worldwide sex symbol. The image is so iconic, it was even a pivotal plot point in the 1994 film "The Shawshank Redemption."
"She's really pretty OK," says Welch of her reel-life character. "I recognize her as one part of my nature. But I just don't want it to be my complete legacy."
Welch is five months away from her 70th birthday. With a 50-year-old son and 48-year-old daughter, Welch is old enough to be a great-grandmother. But very few great grannies have looked like Welch.
Apologizing profusely for being about five minutes late for her interview, Welch breathlessly scurries into the living room of her Italian village-style house nestled in the West L.A. hills. Time has seemingly stood still for Welch, who looks more like she's in her 40s. She's whippet-slim with barely a line on her face (she swears by Oil of Olay). Wearing black pants, a crisp long-sleeve white blouse and a vest, Welch is a stunning near-septuagenarian.
Though not acting as much as during her peak of popularity, Welch certainly keeps busy. She was a regular on the 2002-03 PBS drama "American Family," and has guest starred on "Seinfeld," "Spin City" and "Welcome to the Captain." She's also appeared in the films "Tortilla Soup" and "Legally Blonde." And she's recently been featured in a fun Foster Grant sunglasses commercial.

senior citizen hottie ping......and yes I’d hit it still....
:) “Sydney. No, I told you I don’t want to do that. And if you ask me again I’ll feed your genitals to a wolf.” Slams down phone. “Kids!”
I love your tag line! haha
( those were the rumored numbers )
Well I am a female but I’ll make my female observation on the pix of RW, and that being, she sure beats what passes for most “babes” in hollywood today, doesn’t she? Curves certainly look so much more feminine than those flat-chested (or worse plastic-chested) stick-straight gals who look more like pre-pubescent boys than women. RW is beautiful.
Now there is a “missing link” a guy could believe in!

GQuagmire and pissant would STILL hit it Hottie Ping
To be on or off the Hottie Ping List please FReepmail me.
She was a hottie when she was young, however I think she , like my Sophia, got super when she was in her 50’s. Must have been that confidence that life brings?
hell, I’d hit her mother.
sw
Those photos are so great! Thanks!
I think I remember my dad telling me that he saw that very show (top pic) while he was in Viet Nam.
Wow!! Hell yes, I’d hit it.
That is wrong on so many levels.
Is that an Obama t shirt in that pic?
:-)
She looks very good, but if that’s really a picture of her at 70, I’d be hard-pressed to characterize her as “whippet-slim.” So that makes me wonder what other components of this fawning puff-piece have stretched the truth.
Guess I should have read the article, lol!
That is a great picture....
