RAQUEL WELCH / STELLA STEVENS

 February may be the month of love and sweethearts but this year it has been particularly harsh with two of my early crushes: Raquel Welch and Stella Stevens, both of whom passed away on this month.

                                                                   RAQUEL WELCH                                                    

                                                  (September 5, 1940 - February 15, 2023)

Welch first won attention for her role in Fantastic Voyage (1966), after which she won a contract with 20th Century Fox. They lent her contract to the British studio Hammer Film Productions, for whom she made One Million Years B.C. (1966). Although Welch had only three lines of dialogue in the film, images of her in the doe-skin bikini became best selling posters that turned her into an international sex symbol. She later starred in Bedazzled (1967), Bandolero! (1968), 100 Rifles (1969), Myra Breckinridge (1970), and Hannie Caulder (1971). She made several television variety specials. WIKIPEDIA

STELLA STEVENS

(October 1, 1938 – February 17, 2023)

Stevens began her acting career in 1959 in the film Say One for Me produced by and starring Bing Crosby and appeared in several TV series such as the anthology series Alfred Hitchcock Presents, General Electric Theatre and Bonanza in 1960. She won the 1960 Golden Globe Award for "New Star of the Year".

That year she appeared in three Playboy Pictorials and was named Playmate of the Month for January 1960. She starred in films such as Girls! Girls! Girls! (1962), The Nutty Professor (1963), The Courtship of Eddie's Father (1963), The Silencers (1966), Where Angels Go, Trouble Follows (1968), The Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970), and The Poseidon Adventure (1972).  Stevens subsequently focused more on TV roles, miniseries, and movies including roles in The Love Boat (1977, 1983), Hart to Hart (1979), Newhart (1983), Murder, She Wrote (1985), Magnum, P.I. (1986), Highlander: The Series (1995), and Twenty Good Years (2006). WIKIPEDIA

(Happily, Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren,Joan Collins, Elke Sommer, Ann-Margret, Ursula Andress, Angie Dickinson, Jacqueline Bisset, Catherine Deneuve, Linda Evans and Mamie Van Doren are still with us!)

My Annual Christmas Wish List!

I've been wishing for Raquel Welch since way back in the 1960s...and still no dice. Of course, I mean the REAL Raquel Welch and not the pin-up posters Santa keeps delivering every year! 

Is my wish too far-fetched and ridiculous?  You be the judge!

RAQUEL WELCH and the Star and Stripes!

I had a crush on Raquel Welch back in the 60s, ever since I got a glimpse of her wearing that famous furry skin bikini in the 1966 film One Million Years B.C. 

 

Raquel will be 81 this year and two things haven't changed: her wonderful looks...and my crush on her.

From WIKIPEDIA: 

 Raquel Welch (born Jo Raquel Tejada; September 5, 1940) is an American actress and singer. 

 She first won attention for her role in Fantastic Voyage (1966), after which she won a contract with 20th Century Fox. They lent her contract to the British studio Hammer Film Productions, for whom she made One Million Years B.C. (1966). Although she had only three lines of dialogue in the film, images of her in the doe-skin bikini became best-selling posters that turned her into an international sex symbol. She later starred in Bedazzled (1967), Bandolero! (1968), 100 Rifles (1969), Myra Breckinridge (1970) and Hannie Caulder (1971). She made several television variety specials.

Welch's unique film persona made her an icon of the 1960s and 1970s, due to her portrayal of strong female characters and breaking the mold of the archetypal sex symbol. Because of this, her rise to stardom in the mid 1960s was partly credited with ending Hollywood's vigorous promotion of the blonde bombshell. 

These wonderful Star and Stripes bikini shots are from her 1970 film MYRA BRECKINRIDGE.

And this is where it all started:
