Miguel Sanchez Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) Week 7 update One death this week, Raquel Welch: Raquel Welch obituary | Film | The Guardian Quote Raquel Welch, who has died aged 82, had only three lines as Loana in the 1966 film fantasy One Million Years BC but attained sex-symbol status from the role, in which she was dressed in a fur-lined bikini. The image made its imprint in popular culture and the publicity poster sold millions. The feminist critic Camille Paglia described the American actor’s depiction as “a lioness – fierce, passionate and dangerously physical”. The tale of cavepeople coexisting with dinosaurs was Welch’s breakthrough film – and the beginning of a largely unsuccessful battle she waged to be taken seriously as an actor. When she arrived on set, she told the director, Don Chaffey, she had been thinking about her scene. She recalled his response as: “Thinking? What do you mean you’ve been thinking? Just run from this rock to that rock – that’s all we need from you.” 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. It went to Welch, on contract to 20th Century Fox, when the American studio agreed to hire her out to the British company Hammer Films. Welch had to contend with critics who believed her looks to count for more than any acting ability she possessed. It was true that the film was pure kitsch and noteworthy only for Ray Harryhausen’s remarkable special effects with stop-motion animation creatures – and for making Welch a star. For an actor whose endearing image is one of sex appeal, it appears that she had no time for directors or other actors who saw her purely as a sex object. How ironic then that the most memorable moment of her career was a man looking into her hole: Welch died at 82 so she's worth 43 Base Points for @get_the_subbies_on and @paulathame, with a Deadly Duo making that 68 points each.

It’s buttons, but would be a nice way to start the season, even if a bit late starting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
