Jason's Gallery: In Memoriam: Raquel Welch with eulogy.

Whether it's prehistoric times or in present time, Raquel Welch is a buxom sexpot, no matter what century.

 

On February 15th, 2023, renown sex goddess of the 60s and 70s, Raquel Welch had passed away. She was 82 years old. Even though she started off as a relative unknown in such movies like Fantastic Voyage, it was not until the fame image of Raquel in a fur bikini in promotion of 1 Million Years B.C. is what made a sex symbol in all of pop culture before the like of Farrah Fawcett in a red swimsuit all those years later. The living breathing symbol to what Helen Reddy said, "I am Woman, hear me ROAR!", she continued appearing other movies like the original Bedazzled starring Dudley Moore, The Three Musketeers (1973), and Bandolero! alongside Jimmy Stewart and Dean Martin. Not only with movies and appearances on television, but she was also posed for Playboy in 1979. That, and making a cameo in Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult, just for laughs and giggles along the way.

Raquel's beauty and sex appeal inspired future actresses and models to follow in her footsteps and so much more, among other things. Her passing from a brief illness (which the doctors didn't tell us what illness she had) was so sudden. She may no longer be a part of the living, but her beauty and buxom nature will live on forever. Godspeed, Ms. Welch.
