Interesting that Welch didn’t publicly embrace her Latina heritage until later in her career. When you see Eva Mendes they’re like twins….

I don't think it would been in her best professionial interests to do so, especially at the start of her career. But, I am only surmising.

A beautiful and talented 1960s, 1970s and 1980s model and actress. Rest In Peace Raquel Welch.

She obtained notoriety when I was in junior high school. People like her always remain young in my mind. Hearing that she passed away at 82 was a jolt making me once again realize time’s passage.
One more thing, I don’t remember her ever saying or doing outrageous things. She was dignified.

Mentioned the passing of Raquel at lunch to some of the junior engineers - three blank stares back to me since they did not know who she was. I used @Midnighter's reference - she was Eva Mendes before there was an Eva Mendes.

Looks-wise; but in terms of celebrity - maybe Pam Anderson (but a better actress?)?

If you had just posted this picture, without saying who it was ... I would have 100% said it was Eva Mendes, and wouldn't have believed you if you said it was Raquel Welch, without some verification. Uncanny resemblance there.

I read yesterday that she never photoed nude. She didn't have to unlike some other actresses. She had every man's full attention back in the day

Fake. Here's an article from 2015 in which she explains why she never posed nude. She even wore a red swimsuit for her Playboy picture that Hefner called "boring."

Raquel Welch Reveals Why She Never Posed Naked (yahoo.com)
Apparently she didn't raise her daughter the same way, as she was photographed/filmed naked multiple times, including for a Playboy shoot. Also, according to Mr. Skin, in 100 Rifles, she basically shows everything in a wet shirt shower scene, and accidentally shows *** rolling down the hill shortly thereafter.
