Raquel Welch: Was She Frozen in Time?

Was Raquel Welch somehow frozen in time? The 73-year-old beauty appeared on Saturday at the 2013 Governors Awards, and her looks rival those of a 40-year-old woman.

Wearing an off-the-shoulder red gown, with a V-neck plunging down to there and a slit that came up almost to it, Welch looked every bit the elegant woman she has been for decades. The body-hugging number didn’t reveal a bump or a bulge. It’s no wonder younger men find her attractive!

One younger man who definitely finds Raquel Welch attractive, but was also quick to point out that the two didn’t hook up per recent rumors, is Nigel Lythgoe of both American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance fame. Rumors had the two dating since September and more recently had an impending wedding date set for them to tie that proverbial knot. Not true and not true, however.

Having that poster in 1968 would have been quite impressive since the movie it is from (Hannie Caulder) was released in 1971 in the UK and 1972 in the US.

Her acting back in the 1960s was terrible! She was basically eye candy for the men.

I think that she has the same attitude that Dolly Parton has, in that she does it for her fans - they want to see Raquel Welch, and she is working hard to see that they see Raquel Welch and not just a good-looking older lady. She is a major fitness buff, also, and gets up very early every day to exercise.

It’s not THOSE parts that have kept her looking great - it’s her cheekbones. If a woman has good cheekbones, it’s hard to go wrong at any age.

But she doesn’t swing her arms when she walks.

Yes she does. She doesn't swing her arms when she tap dances...

YES, YES, yes, Ursula dearest. THANK you. I am just NOT UP on the beauty queens of yesteryear...or this year, or any year.

My husband had a few words for both of those women: VA-VA-VOOM. :o)

I DO remember .007, all of them. I do like Daniel Craig. He ain't no Sean Connery but he's pretty good. Connery was/is still .007 for me.
Oh yeah, what's her name...URSULA. She's good too.

She’s still not moving her arms when she walks though.

Mom must have stopped you in time.......

The friend who claimed that was a true dialog between he
and his mom also claimed while in high school bagging
groceries a lady in line 2 registers down asked where the
Tampax was stocked. My pal thought she had ask for
tacks so he asked her “You mean the kind you
push in with your thumb or tap in with a hammer?” This
guy was really full of crap.

As a female, she always seemed perfectly likable to me until I just read in your bio that she was modeling and looking like she did in the 60’s soon after having two children.... I hate her now! (Just kidding :)

It is for this kind of knowledge that I read Free Republic daily. I’ve seen that photo for 50 years but never knew the Raquel packed a Webley. You are my hero!

When Ursula Andress made her big screen debut with Sean Connery in the 1962 spy movie “Dr. No”, TIME magazine said, “Miss Andress is the greatest thing to come out of Switzerland since the Alps.” She has held up quite well over the years, but at 82 age is catching up with her.

She is wearing a wig. You can see where the elastic stocking like thing fits her forehead.

“Raquel Welch is the rudest, most unprofessional actress I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with, and if I could, I would spank her from here to Aswan.” — James Mason.
