A dazzlingly beautiful woman. Voluptuous - - but with a tiny waist - - and bursting with good health.
If God ever decided to create the perfect-looking woman - - He would not do much better than Raquel.
RIP.

The "One Million BC" poster is the greatest kid's pinup of all time. Raquel not only looked good, she could actually act. Remember the shite storm that arose when she and Jim Brown swapped spit in "100 Rifles" - that was 1969. This happened before Kirk and Uhuru locked lips. She will definitely be remembered and missed dearly. RIP Raquel.

I saw her at the Bob Hope show Dec 26, 1967 at Phu Cat Air Base Vietnam. When she came out on the stage in her blue and white knit micro mini dress all you heard was 10,000 GIs all sucking wind at the same time as she took our combined breaths away. Rest in Peace.

She was a client of the Accounting / Business Management firm I worked for in the 70’s. Nice lady.
RIP.

I was 11 or 12 when I saw the beautiful Raquel Welch in the One Million BC poster and fell instantly in love. A beautiful woman who died too soon. RIP

I always thought she came across as a very intelligent classy woman. She seemed to look so gorgeous even in late 70’s because of good health and fitness NOT plastic surgery. I do know she was exceedingly generous to a number of organizations that provided wigs to cancer survivor ladies. I read about that and she did it over a good many years. God bless her and her family as they grieve Miss Welch’s passing.

She even co-starred in arguably one of the Best Movies of all time, with three academy award winning actors...not sure she even got a credit.

God broke the mold...but she still set a standard that spans 4 generations, any woman that looks even REMOTELY like her is universally considered gorgeous.
Mrs Trump is a good example.

One thing's for sure. She was the only woman who could rock a rabbit skin bikini!
R.I.P. Ms Welch

Beautiful, classy, elegant. RIP
Also a great skit on Laugh-In back in the day hopelessly trying to give beauty tips to Gladys Ormphby played by Ruth Buzzi.

I met her once. She was beautiful. Tiny! She was also very gracious and friendly. The world has lost one of its most beautiful people.

She was beautiful in all ways, front and back. Beautiful voice. Long slender, fine-boned hands. Close to perfection in physical beauty.

I had a poster of her from "One Million Years B.C." on the wall of my apartment for a couple of years. She makes today's "beauties" look like Cheetah the Chimp.

#1 & #3 - When complimented about maintaining her looks she always credited lots of water, exercise, and sleep.

I once told my girlfriend that if Raquel Welch called me to come fetch her, I'd be out the door directly. A few years later, she married me anyway, in spite of my playful but enthusiastic admonishment. But she never forgot my warning but like most secure women, she liked Raquel, too, and appeared genuinely sad today as she broke the news to me.

The last time I saw her was in December 1967 at Udorn AB, Thailand. Had to leave the show early to go fly up North.

She was a glamorous and elegant woman, and I enjoyed all her movies and shows. One of the most beautiful Latina ladies who ever graced the Hollywood scene. RIP Raquel, you will be missed.

My older cousin who was a teen when I was a grade schooler had 3 posters on the back of his door of three of the most beautiful women I’d ever seen. Farrah Fawcett-Majors, Ann Margaret and Raquel Welch. Out of the 3 Raquel to me was just beautiful. On my first Naval deployment to the Mediterranean the movie guys played One Million BC and I was just captivated from who Raquel not only was train stopping gorgeous but could act. RIP beautiful lady. My dad who is also a big fan said that son God broke the mold we he created Raquel Welch. I agree.
