I once knew a co-worker who was from Hemet, CA (her home town) and he always bragged about how he was in a local Christmas pageant with a 19 year old Racquel Welch.
Personally though, from the moment I saw her in "One Million Years, BC" I started admiring her...I also thought, "Damn! Cave girls looked like that? A one way ticket to the stone age, please!"
But seriously, from what I've read over the years, she didn't take sh*t from anyone and had a pretty good life overall.
She was everywhere when I was young. The worst leering came from pickled pervs like Dean Martin and Bob Hope. She didn't even have to be there--just the mention of her name (like Sophia Loren and Gina Lollabrigida) was enough to make the guys at the American Legion hall chortle. But I agree about her taking zero shit in her life, as reflected in her public image.
I’ll always remember Raquel Welch best for her incredible episode of The Muppet Show, where she dances with the giant spider. (There’s a whole room in my mind that’s Muppet-themed.)
