Performing a duet with her on The Muppet Show helped moi become the W-O-M-A-N I am today! Raquel Welch was one of the most wonderful people I’ve ever worked with. "She was elegant, professional and glamorous beyond belief," said Witherspoon. Actress and producer Viola Davis posted a clip of her singing "I'm a Woman" with Cher in 1975, writing: "You were ageless to me...iconic". Welch went on to address her image in her memoir, Raquel: Beyond the Cleavage, in which she opened up about her childhood, her early career woes as a single mother in Hollywood, and why she would never lie about her age. Despite her public image, however, she long expressed discomfort with the representation of her body, once saying she "was not brought up to be a sex symbol, nor is it in my nature to be one".

Tributes have poured in for Welch, who gained acclaim as an actress and sex symbol during the 1960s and 1970s.

She was also acclaimed for her role in the Merchant Ivory comedy-drama The Wild Party, opposite James Coco. Welch when I was a regular on Sabrina the Teenage Witch and she was awesome. Kind, funny and a true superstar whom I was pretty much in love with for most of my childhood. Her curves and beauty captured pop-culture attention, with Playboy crowning her the “most desired woman” of the 1970s, though she never appeared completely naked in the magazine. In 2013, she graced the No 2 spot on Men’s Health’s “Hottest Women of All Time” list. It turned out that I was the Bo Derek of the season, the lady in the loin cloth about whom everyone said, ‘My God, what a bod’, and they expected to disappear overnight.”

Star who shot to global fame in the 1960s in One Million Years BC and whose later roles showed her aptitude for comedy.

Variety described Welch as “at best a pleasantly passable singer”, suiting “the costumes better than she does the vocal and acting requirements”. She also comically played a temperamental version of herself attacking Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards) and Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) in a 1997 episode of Seinfeld. But a technicality involving start dates and contract options ruled out the Bond film and she was cast in Fantastic Voyage (1966), a big-budget sci-fi submarine saga, clad in a wetsuit. She took top billing in Myra Breckinridge (1970), as a transgender movie critic, in a misjudged adaptation of Her last film was How to Be a Latin Lover (2017). In an updating of the [Katharine Hepburn](https://www.theguardian.com/news/2003/jul/01/guardianobituaries.film)-Spencer Tracy 1942 movie of the same title, she gave a show-stopping performance as the TV news personality Tess Harding. In the event, she worked as a model and cocktail waiter in Dallas, Texas, before moving to Los Angeles. The performance won her a Golden Globe best actress award and she reprised the part in The Four Musketeers: Milady’s Revenge (1974). She increasingly took roles on television and worked up an act as a nightclub singer that she took across the US. “It would be inaccurate to say that Miss Welch is a better actress than Miss Bacall, but certainly at this stage of her career she is a more animated musical personality.” Ursula Andress, who had emerged from the sea in another famous bikini for the 1962 James Bond film Dr No, had turned down the role of Loana.

Did Hollywood star Raquel Welch die suddenly from COVID-19 vaccine SADS?! Take a look at the claims, and find out what the facts really are!

[Tech ARP](https://www.techarp.com/) [Health](https://www.techarp.com/science/) They will just move on to the next celebrity tragedy… If these spike proteins are permanent (as antivaxxers claim), we would have lifelong immunity. Will these anti-vaccination activists apologise for lying to you? This is part of how vaccines teach your immune system to identify the enemy and destroy it. Raquel Welch (born Jo Raquel Tejada on September 5, 1940) rose to fame after starring in Fantastic Voyage and One Million Years in 1966. She said that was the hardest thing. The Golden Globe winner, in more recent years, was involved in a very successful line of wigs. After her retirement, Raquel was low-key and rarely ventured out in public. I am noticing a lot of older people are dropping dead after “brief illness”now. Raquel welch dead at 82 after a “brief illness” huh?

PPI due out today….Will that mimic the CPI? Try the Rigatoni Alla Vodka. Great retail sales report, rates go UP and the Nasdaq is the winner on the day ...

In a deep pan – melt half a stick of butter and add a splash of olive oil, add the chopped garlic and the diced prosciutto. I continue to favor the STPN (Stuff that People Need) as the overweight with Aerospace/Defense, AI, Cybersecurity and SMID’s (small and Mid-Cap) as complements. I continue to think we will test 4000 again in the next couple of weeks and I think it holds. Today brings us the all-important PPI number – inflation at the producer level and that too is expected to be up m/m but down y/y – just like the CPI was supposed to be….Top line PPI demand at +0.4% up from -0.5% last month, y/y at +5.4% down from 6.2% last month. The PPI Ex food and energy up +0.3% m/m and down to 4.9% y/y….Now remember that the CPI was stronger in the y/y numbers – something that caught the markets by surprise – so expect investors to be looking for that in the PPI number….also – I wonder if we will start to hear about the Super Core PPI number – which – like the Super Core CPI number just eliminates sectors of the economy that economists ‘think’ disrupt the picture too much….in order to give them the result that want (and need) to support their narrative in the event that the report is ‘hotter’ than what they want. Again - We remain in the broader 4000/4200 range….and the longer we remain above 4100, the more 4000 becomes significant support in the event of a pullback…. Is it the soft landing that we all hoped for or is it all about to fall off the edge? And like I said – rates went UP on the back of that strong report – and stocks went up – which continues to be a bit counter intuitive….. By the end of the day – the Dow gained 40 pts, the S&P gained 11, the Nasdaq added 110, the Russell gained 22 and the Transports added 48 pts. You see rising prices push UP sales figures (because you spend more but buy less) – they are not adjusted for inflation, so you have to ask – Is the 3% jump as strong as it appears? The consumer is alive and well…..Retail Sales (seasonally adjusted)– which were expected to come in at +2% came in at +3%, and EX Autos and Gas it was even more dramatic….+2.6% vs.

5, 1940, Welch was one of the leading sex symbols of the 1960s and '70s. "It's getting older, I guess, that makes you think that way." She won a Golden Globe for her performance in the 1973 film The Three Musketeers and was nominated for another Golden Globe for the 1987 TV movie Right to Die.

The veteran film, television and stage actress died Wednesday morning at the age of 82, after a brief illness.

This 1960s film follows scientist Jan Benes (Jean Del Val) as he develops a way to shrink humans and other objects for brief periods. In a career spanning nearly six decades, Welch started in the 1960s with appearances on TV shows such as The Virginian, McHale's Navy and Bewitched. Welch made film history in this 1969 Western, starring alongside African American actor and former professional football player Jim Brown. Welch only had a few lines, but her animal skin two-piece became part of pop culture history. The movie, set in 1912 in Sonora, Mexico, follows native revolutionary Yaqui Joe (played by Burt Reynolds) as he robs a bank to buy guns for the Yaqui people. The news was confirmed to NPR by her son, Damon.
