[@discernment8963]

@@frankpienkosky5688 Pretty much what I was eluding to. I don't disagree. Monroe's an Icon on Tshirts etc more so than RW, but then so's Charlie Manson, for that matter, which isn't what I was talking about. Not saying MM's negative, but obviously an Icon can be either. I was just talking hot chicks as opposed to their public image over the years. No question because of her association with the Ratpack, JFK, Bobby etc who passed her around like a Joint is more the "Icon". A 30yr old RW's just about as hot as they come in the conversation I'm having, which is the only one I'm concerned with practically speaking.

[@CalTxDude]

My late husband was a classmate and was good friends with Raquel's sister. I met her many years later, she was gracious, a bit aloof... But when I mentioned that my Uncle remembered seeing her when she toured Vietnam! She LIT UP!! She had me give her assistant my uncle's mailing address! She sent him a photo and a personal note. Very sweet!

When R. was appointed a GoodWill Ambassador the New York media ripped her and she left the mike crying. You and I can't really blame her for the visciousness out there for women as leaders, and unlike today, they didn't have a "Media Team" and large group of private security, etc. to get these clowns to BACK OFF.

It was customary for powerful men in the movie industry to coerce young women to trade sex for a career in Hollywood. I wonder how Raquel Welch handled the inevitable sexual harassment. Did she always say no? Did it cost her roles for not playing the game, especially when she first started out? How did she handle these situations? I've never heard her address this issue, or even being asked the question.

[@thedwightguy]

I've watched Joan Collins (the British Open) and Jane Fonda (Hollywood Royalty) REMANUFACTURE their "reality" to adjust to the cancel culture and 2020 media. Made me almost throw up. I get a small SS check for my time in Hollywood when I was in school (early twenties). We'd try to "advise" young ladies our age and try to steer them to the correct photographers, agents. The place is full of "users" a notch above outright street pimps and con men. Looking at some of the films she did (100 Rifles) that were not MAJOR mainstream promotions but considered pretty good films today, she probably had to be aggressive to get the call.

I hate how the industry depicts women as sex symbols and sees nothing beyond that. I don't think she was a difficult person to work with in Hollywood. She just wasn't putting up with their bs. She didn't let the industry control her, so she was labeled a rebel with a bad attitude. RIP Raquel.....you are gone but never forgotten

Hollywood always wants to changed non-English names, especially in those times. It happened to Leonardo DiCaprio & Arnold Schwarzenegger & others. But they didn’t change their name. Watch Leonardo on Letterman about it.

She actually didn't change her name for Hollywood. She married a cop named Welch, who I believe's both her kid's father also. She kept her 1st husband and children's father's name.

Raquel Welch's birthday is September 5, 2022. She lived in Chicago, Illinois until she was 5. LaJolla is a very expensive area to live in today. I visited her childhood home in LaJolla and it is tiny. A friend showed me the house. His girlfriend lived across the street from Welch's House. Well, in a couple of days Raquel Welch will be 82. Her first husband was a Green Beret.

She is a good actress and had a really successful career. Today in her 70's, she still looks really young.
