Happy 77th Birthday Raquel Welch!
Alison Martino reminded me of this iconic photo – Raquel Welch draped in the American flag – one of the most iconic pictures of all – from an Actress who has had an amazing career that should be appreciated more!
Today is Raquel’s 77th birthday – she is a national treasure for all the reasons I am about to share!
It all began in the 60’s – so let’s head back in time!

Enter the world of sex symbols…a world of movie trailers that boldly proclaim:
“Introducing Raquel Welch, the amazing star discovery of this, or any year!”
What a way to make your film debut – wearing THIS!

Celebrating the 60’s Sex Kitten Raquel Welch!
Yep, let’s go back to an era when one of the world’s most beautiful women became the world’s biggest star – all based on a very revealing movie outfit!

I commented last year too, but it is hard to believe she’s 77! She still looks amazing when you see photos of her, but I doubt she would deny a relationship with a good plastic surgeon.
Best wishes, Pete.

Pete, she’s one of those Hollywood legends who is largely forgotten by today’s entertainment lovers…thanks to DVD and streaming services we can go back and see what all the fuss was about!

I don’t know the nose I think like a lot of celebrities gets too thin with too much surgery. Still a real beauty. I wish more would grow old gracefully. If you don’t think Jessica Tandy was sexy in her old age then you weren’t paying attention.
