    Raquel was beautiful and sexy. She was also an extremely talented actress who excelled at comedy. She was typecast as a sex symbol at a young age. It took years and fierce determination to land acting parts outside of those bombshell ones. She was very private. Read that she was grounded, down to earth, and had a good sense of humor. Some of that was due to her family upbringing. The rest due to her relentless pursuit of good acting roles. She was also a very loving mother. Thanks, Karine for this video tribute to Raquel Welch!

    When I lived in San Diego in the 70s I met a guy who had delivered pizza to Raquel at her home. He said he was surprised that she was smaller than he thought, and she was wearing a caftan or sweats, something the equivalent of comfy stay at home clothes. He said she was really nice, came across as a sweet person. And she gave him a good tip. So there's my Raquel story that isn't even really mine! She always gave me the feeling she was "good folk."

  • @minoutv7347

    Completely agree with you about the age at passing. My mother also lived to 102 and did not eat a very healthy diet. So RW passing at 82 with all she did with diet and exercise has me baffled. She was a hero for me growing up. I was a teen in the 1960’s and had a “well developed” bustline. Those were the days when Twiggy and other models and actress like her were all the rage. I was incredibly self conscious of my body as a result. When Raquel came onto the scene, it was the first time I had a role model that made it ok to be a D cup size. I also took up yoga, but not because of Raquel. In my 20’s I was friends with a neighbor that I thought was around my own age, when I learned she was actually ten years older than me I was floored! That is what got me into yoga! But later on when I learned RW also practiced yoga, my admiration for her continue to grow. To this day I am still shocked and saddened at her passing. Thank you for creating this video and sharing her story. ❤❤❤

    I didn’t know she was in Playboy + Hefner let her off the hook. Quite a victory he didn’t agree w/often. My mother was a Playboy Bunny (when that was an actual job) in the 1970’s at the Boston Club. She was also in Playboy Magazine + remained fully clothed.
    I always rooted for her and she remained the same her whole career. Beautiful, funny, witty and no BS.

    Racquel Walsh is an icon to me. I remember in the early 2000s MAC released a collection for her and I bought an eyeshadow palette. Just so intelligent and beautiful Karine thank you for this video❤

    Oh no, I hadn't heard that Raquel died last Wednesday! Oh, my heart!...😢💔
    She really hammered the nail on the head, about the problem with fame coming from beauty. In the industry, especially in America, you're "allowed" to be pretty OR smart, NOT both. It's just another facet of our ridiculous caste system.
    Another icon gone. R.I.P. Raquel. You are missed. 😥🥀

    Karine my friend, you did a wonderful job here telling Raquel's story and giving us an insight into who she was as a person. You are one of my favorite content creators and I love getting your perspective as a Haitian-American because I'm so ignorant about racial issues here in nearly all-white Iceland. I never heard skin-color or ethnicity be used against people because all the adopted 'foreign' kids had Icelandic parents and were no different from the rest of us, aside from being born elsewhere. That both gave me a very equality-based view towards other races but also made me really ignorant about their culture. That is why I appreciate your take so much, you aren't here preaching to us but educating us through your own perspective. You do it very well.
    Always a pleasure! Looking forward to the rewatch :)

    I've recently discovered your channel and it's apparent that you my dear are deeper and more insightful than many others I've run across. The statements made of "...woah is me" as it relates to ppl who are considered beautiful but speak on the down sides of it, is a good example. When ppl say that I know they are incapable of empathizing with others on a humanitarian level. It's only when they walk in the shoes they think they want, do they come to understand how it feels. And yes, 82 is relatively young. 💕

  • @pbohearn

    Thank you for this very illuminating and respectful tribute honoring Raquel Welch. Like everyone, she is a complex woman not a two dimensional image. Unfortunately, when that is the reason you’re successful, it comes at a great cost. One could say that she chose it and fed it, but I don’t think that she knew all of the implications when she was encouraged to do that by her husband, and once you’re pegged, you are pegged. It would be difficult for a beauty like Raquel Welch not to be put into that role by Hollywood. I would say she was not only underappreciated as an actress, she just wasn’t even offered the opportunity to play roles where she would have a chance of being nominated for an Oscar. Probably her best performances were in the four musketeers, and in the film, where she portrayed one of the members of a roller derby team, she was offered almost no serious acting roles. The gorgeous women who have received Oscars for performances like Halle berry were usually in films Where they completely played against type, that is, they played a very unattractive, or disturbed woman, whose beauty was played down in the film. By the way, many say that comedy is much harder to perform than drama, because perfect timing and the tone of your voice and your facial expressions, and so many things go into whether something is funny, or not. finally, if you never saw the magazine photo campaign for the fur company, Blackgama, which started with the tag, “what becomes a legend most?“ Raquel was one of many Hollywood stars offered the campaign and is the only one I remember. It was sensational. They don’t sell fur anymore and they don’t advertise it but damn, I remember that ad campaign to this day, and I was a child when it came out. Her sensuality really was more real than Marilyn Monroe‘s. It was earthy but never trashy. she was a sexy bombshell, but more than that >a gorgeous woman who had depth and tried to show it, but a lot of people didn’t want to see it, they just wanted to see her boobs. A personal anecdote: I was an undergraduate at UCLA in the 1980s and it was announced that Raquel Welch was going to appear at the student union that day in conversation, it might have been part of the book signing promotion. Of course I had to go. She had recently been fired from a film, and it was quite humiliating for her at that time. The little I remember of it she was extremely self-contained and articulate, and presented herself in a very sophisticated, well dressed etc. I don’t recall her wearing anything that was particularly provocative. After she talked, they opened it up to students to ask questions, and some radical lesbian went to the microphone and proceeded to completely dress her down for her image in a very political and cruel way. I’m sure Racquel did not know that was coming and I think she responded to it in the best way that she could. this was coming from another woman and of course many women also couldn’t handle Raquel Welch and Judged here quite seriously. This was a feminist who had a problem with her image and how she made money, but of course wouldn’t know that she refused to take her clothes off and tried to work in Hollywood with self respect., and get more serious roles but was handicapped by her looks. She should be offered jobs like anybody else and play roles that were appropriate for her. Can’t help it if she’s got a knockout body. I think the students, particularly the male students, just started shouting down this lesbian and that was that. It wasn’t even funny what she was doing.

    Back then they were targeted with sexual harassment. Watched an old What's my line? She was the mystery guest. Johnny Carson was on the panel. He says I want her number. She was not thrilled. This is a major reason. Old Hollywood male directors expected sexual favors more. Men hoot, whistle and holler at her as she entered. Some women would get tired of being valued because of her looks.

    The moment you mentioned how she ate I checked her natal chart because I knew she had to be a Virgo. Virgos are serious about their health and eating habits in general. In Raquel's case she was a heavy Virgo. She has multiple planets in Virgo. Makes sense why she was so grounded, intelligent, and disciplined. Beyonce, Michael Jackson, Raquel.... all Virgos. Virgos are machine like with their bodies.

      Heavy virgo here. I'm a habitual over-achiever and a "medical miracle" after surviving stage IV cancer, literally returning from end-of-life treatment in hospice. Half of it was w. help from unseen powers, half of it was a new experimental 'drug' (supplement) that seems to work on female reproductive cancers (orasal).
      I'm sharing in case it could save a woman's life, I don't believe in for-profit healthcare, it has the incentive to keep us chronically sick.
