RIP: Raquel Welch

[thewayne]

Wow. 82 years old, passed after a short illness.

Well-known for OH SO MANY roles, I think my personal favorite was the original Dudley Moore/Peter Cooke Bedazzled. Not that she was much more than a go go dancer in it, but that's one of my favorite movies overall. But another amazing role was her part in the Three Musketeers, the '73(?) version with Michael York as D'Artagnian and Richleu played by Charleton Heston.

What a fantastic comeback!  I absolutely adored Carson's Tonight Show, and since he retired and since passed, I maintain the phrase "There is but one king of late night, and Carson was his name."  Though Stephen Colbert does one heck of a show.

She was quick-witted, which is a useful skill for a sexy woman. And that was one of the few times Carson was caught off-guard, and he wasn't used to it. But he was professional enough to recover quickly enough to get the show back on track. (He really was a consummate professional.)
