Another gorgeous icon gone. All these people behaved with dignity, something which is lacking today.

What a good looking dame! Talented, sexy, beautiful, funny. She was an icon of our era. I was a fan.

I agree. I don't remember any scandal written about her..not saying there was none.. but I don't think she was ever anything but classy..

So sad to see this. I liked her a lot. In fact, I had just watched Hannie Caulder for the hundredth time the other night. One of my favorite movies.

ship anchored out in acapulco bay during a transit from one ocean to another. on liberty i was at poolside bar scarfing down some flavored drink when a camera crew backed into the area followed by welch in a white bikini. she and james brown had been filming a moving called 100 rifles.

Well. I have another story to tell. Around 1970 we saw her at a Las Vegas show and eventually going topless. As I was leaning forwards, my wife whispered into my ear, "it's all silicone." LOL

I never thought much of her acting skills but her "assets" were outstanding. R.I.P to a beautiful lady.

When I was in college that poster of her from the movie 'One million years BC' shown in post #9 above was in many of the rooms in our dorm. She was 'hot', sorry she is gone...

I just ordered a DVD of The Fantastic Voyage. I haven't seen it in years, but I've seen it more than once. The first time, I didn't know what to expect, and just saw it as science fiction. The second time it occurred to me that this was a fun way to present a tour of the human body, specifically the circulatory system, which by nature does cover the whole body. Now this could be an issue for debate, but I'm just thinking about it, not looking for a fight. I'm wondering if this movie has some value as a teaching tool, maybe in the 7th grade, during a unit on the human body.
