Last week Sixties and Seventies film icon Raquel Welch sadly passed away.
I remember Miss. Welch largely from the black and white movie poster advertised at the back of American magazines likes Famous Monsters of Filmland and Creepy/Eerie, the classic image being a still of her from the Hammer film One Million Years BC, 1966.
Raquel was everywhere back then and on a million bedroom walls, easily one of the most famous people on the planet.
Like Valerie Leon and Caroline Munro, Miss. Welch was a constant film personality as I was growing up in the Sixties and Seventies and I'm certain she was viewed as the most beautiful woman in the world at the time.
Her passing is yet another bright star removed from the firmament of our youth and a very sad one at that.
RIP Raquel.
Another great Hollywood star gone, from the days when they really were stars.
