of the seventies? I would think the sixties myself but maybe this old brain is malfin’......
Way too little, way too late.
The author’s bias against a conservative beauty is showing. Raquel was a pin-up person, but I don’t know about being a ‘sex icon’ ... that’s the purview of females like Linda Lovelace.

good point.
I will always remember from my childhood those USO shows Bob Hope did from Vietnam that were broadcast on TV, when he would introduce Raquel Welch. As she would prance out onstage in her miniskirt or short-shorts, Bob would say to the troops, “Okay, fella, I just wanted to remind you what you all are fighting for,” which always brought the house down.
I always respected Raquel Welch — though her Hoolywood lifestyle, 4 marriages and so forth weren’t anything to be lauded. But then, even she says that. She seemed to have a brain to match her beauty. And she was ALWAYS patriotic — she supported the troops — she did the USO shows. I can respect that.
Good article overall. Makes sense...

Born Sept 5, 1940, twenties through the sixties, thirties through the seventies, and amazing through her sixties.
Huh? What does contraception have to do with oral sex?
My college boyfriend had a poster of Welch over his bed in 1969-71. She WAS a pin-up. I agree with her assessment that the 60’s ruined our culture. Many think the 60’s were the best of America. Not so. The culture shifted and not in a good way.
If you remember the 60's, you weren't there.

NEIL CAVUTO, HOST: When you think of Hollywood legends or at least when I think of Hollywood legends, my next guest really comes to mind. She's a Golden Globe winner, she's a Broadway star, and did I mention, she is — oh gosh — she is a knockout. On Saturday [August 13, 2005], actress Raquel Welch will be honored by the Vietnam Veterans of America for entertaining the troops with Bob Hope back in 1968.
Post #1.
When I was 10 years old living in Yokosuka, Japan I went to see "Fantastic Voyage" on the base theater.
By far and beyond, seeing those guys ripping the antibodies off of her skintight diving suit with their bare hands had a real and lasting effect on me.
It was right around that time that I began to think that perhaps girls were not the Enemy...:)
Thanks.
good post and good thoughts buck. and I understand your feelings but, ‘many think’? who is ‘many’? I know of no one who was an adult in the sixties who thought they were the ‘best of America’......after G.F. Powers, BOP, 11/22/’63, ‘the tonkin gulf’ ‘the great society’, ‘vietnam, pueblo, etc. etc. etc. not bangin’ on you and I agree....the sixties culture move was a horror show.
That’s what 70 looks like? I need to learn the name of her plastic surgeon. Wow!
