    1. Legit one of the hottest women in the world at that time. Her only competition at the time was Ann-Margret.

      One of the smartest casting moves to pass on her as Marianne. Having Tina Louise and Raquel on the same island sounds amazing at first but it would have exploded the rest of the show dynamic

      The Sixties needed her, they were looking so hard for a “new Monroe”, and finally, there was Welch, modern, arresting, athletic, sensual, photogenic. What she wasn’t, however, was a particularly gifted actress, her studied line readings taking away some of the allure. She got better as an actress in the Seventies, retaining her trademark beauty thank goodness.

      When did the “ideal woman” according to society become someone who looks like a 10-year-old boy?

      We need more models like Racquel.

    5. Agreed that she was lovely to look at, but there was a reason she was never a top tier star…she was a terrible actress.
