Raquel Welch, is the # 57 most connected actor of the 1960’s, and coincidentally the # 57 most connected of the 1970’s.
I remember going to Bluebeard which featured Raquel. It was my first r rated film There we were waiting to see Raquel nude, and she showed nothing. Virna Lisi showed nothing. What a disappointment to a 15 year old. WE did see Sybil Danning and Joey Heatherton in their birthday suits though.
Tortilla Soup was my best film of 2001and the last film I saw at the UA Bayside Quad before it closed its doors for good.
Raquel is # 525 on the 2020 Oracle of Bacon Top 1000 Center of the Hollywood Universe list; these are the other actors on the list she has appeared with.
