[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 430176, member: 57984"] The 1960s premiere sex symbol, the statuesque Raquel Welch, made several films. And, like many icons in the business, her fame superseded her motion picture career. Do you have any favorites? One of mine is FANTASTIC VOYAGE (1966) which has that cold, huger-than-its-borders, echo-y, futuristic mid-to-late-'60s thing which makes it work. [MEDIA=youtube]qxeDJ35IA34[/MEDIA] Not everybody liked her. She was considered to be aggressively "stupid" by some in the business. Farrah Fawcett said Welch was "mean-spirited" and passive-aggressive (a la, [I]'Are you gong to wear that??' ... "I assume you're having your teeth fixed..."[/I]) when they were shooting MYRA BRECKENRIDGE (which I'm convinced I never saw). Still, she wasn't bad at what she did. And her physicality was, then and now, rather notable. Raquel was offered the role of Alexis on DYNASTY in 1981, which Welch turned down (as did Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren, although the latter almost happened) and then turned down the role of Lady Ashley in 1984 (as did Taylor, Candice Begen and Angie Dickinson) before hapless Ali Mac Graw accepted the part in Season 5's DYNASTY. (Many of us might have liked Jacqueline Bissett). That said, I might have like Raquel in the role of Ashley.
