Raquel Welch Career Retrospective | Legacy Collection | SAG-AFTRA Foundation Conversations 

Ms. Welch is the epitome of class, articulateness, absolute inner beauty and grace. She is so well-spoken and witty that one can listen to her 24/7. The film industry lost one of it’s most bright and beautiful, majestic stars.

RIP you extraordinary woman! Surreal to be watching today …

She was so beautiful and a great actress ! That necklace IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND IT’S ON THE RIGHT PERSON ! You will be missed so much!

What a lady.

She was lovely, I miss her. Sad she has left us so soon. Thank you for posting this, I appreciate it

Having viewed several videos featuring Raquel, and realizing that she died a little less than one year ago (February 15, 2023, at age 82) the mani thing that repeatedly has impressed me is how incredibly brilliant she was, intellectually, and how "down to earth she was as a person." What an incredible sense of humor, and even was able to laugh at herself, especially when she confessed to a huge "mis-step" when she turned down the role for the movie, "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," and humbly continued by saying how well Ellen Byrstin did in winning an Oscar for that role. THAT is proof of, in my opinion, a truly great woman... a truly great human being! What has occurred to me as being so "Tragic," is that just like Norma Jean Baker (Marilyn Monroe) who also wanted to be taken seriously as a legitimate actress, on a less tragic but still extremely sad note, is that Raquel wanted the same thing for herself, and just because of her incredible physical beauty, she was denied that access. She reminds me of a kind of "American version of Sophia Loren, who obviously has been able to be taken seriously, while being just as gorgeous as Raquel. Part of the blame could be with Raquel herself, as I think of other very beautiful actresses such as Audrey Hepburn, Natalie Wood, and Faye Dunaway, who somehow achieved that goal of acceptance on that higher level, and probably Raquel should have been more discerning and refused so many roles that had hardly any speaking lines for her. As I wrote in an earlier response, I believe that due to her unresolved "Father Wound," (which is something I personally experienced as well with my dysfunctional father) that not only did that trauma, including her parents' divorce, but, in my opinion, that "Wound" also prevented her from maintaining any successful marriages. Although she had both a heart condition and the early stages of Alziemers Disease, perhaps her death, even at the age in which she died, may have been brought on in some way, by being "broken hearted" by not having achieved the Professional Status and Marital enjoyment which she truly wanted. I am very impressed that with these two failures to enjoy both professional and private satisfaction, may have brought about the end of her life, many years before it otherwise would have been lived out. How great that Raquel achieved all that she did... especially donating $1,000,000 worth of wigs to women who had gone through chemo and radiation treatments for cancer! How cool was that!!?? Anyway... a truly amazingly great woman, who was way more than merely "A Sex Symbol" and I thank God that she lived as full and as long a life as God allowed her to do. Amen..!!!

What a great inspiration interview 🙌the light is in Raquel Welch eyes and spirit! Rest in peace my beauty HERO

I did not realize how funny Raquel Welch was in person. ❤️🙏

Ms. Welch is articulate, utterly witty, very well-spoken and absolutely a stunner.

Raquel has a subtle, most entertaining, clever sense of humour! She most definitely is not just a drop dead gorgeous face.

Such a beauty... Not only great looks, but great mannerism.. She had the whole package. This is how a 10 looks like..

I have a poster of Raquel, the famous poster of the movie "1 Million Years BC", I found it in excellent condition in my basement, my father had it and he kept it with all other such possessions... It is not just a picture of a beautiful woman, it is an object that, at least for me, has intrinsic value.

In my opinion the most beautiful woman in and out. One in a million

Fabulous and funny talk, she was really charismatic as well as being a great beauty.

Very interesting and nice to hear her views on her roles and her career. Engaging and witty and fun. I'm really shocked and saddened at her death.

ICON and LEGEND. Extremely brilliant, classy, graceful and beautiful woman. Plus, she is soooo funny and tells the best stories, 👑❤🙏🌹

My favorite movies of hers were, Fantastic Voyage, Last of Shelia, and 3 Musketeers. Great films!

Her movie Fathom inspired me to face my fears and take up skydiving ❤ she was definitely more than a cave man eye Candy

Such lovely grace, so great to see and hear! Thanks so much

Beautiful Lady, Talented and Glamorouse...

Raquel was Gorgeous. RIP I saw her in the 1970's on the set of a film.

So beautiful, wonderful lady and glamorouse...

Rest, Sleeping Beauty

RIP Rachel Welch

For a long time Raquel Welch was mischaracterized as difficult and that reputation stuck for a long time. In hindsight, it was so wrong. She was bright, strong, and insisted on the respect she rightly deserved.

She never grew old!

Really for me go one from symbol United States .I cry the river over You .

She is classy, and intelligent, in her prime she was the hottest woman I have ever seen. Just beautiful.

I saw her in Fantastic Voyage when it came out in the 70's at a local theatre. An amazing fun and very different kind of movie back then. She had a high IQ, how ironic considering her roles as a sex symbol. I always wished she had done more comedy bc she was funny. I am surprised at her death only bc she was so into health and fitness and I thought she would live to 100.

Sua figlia THEEN ERA BELLISSIMA

She is a well...built. lady...very curvy..well..spoken...

I always liked Raquel Welch. Hollywood never really gave her a fair break. With the exception of Fantastic Voyage, the majority of her hit movies were made in England.

In what year was this interview conducted?

Raquel Welch was a very glamourous movie star. I liked her Sex Symbol image. Favorite Films: Kansas City Bomber, Fuzz.
