She died from a brief illness at the age of 82. Loved her in Fantastic Voyage and The Three Musketeers. I actually saw Kansas City Bomber in the movie theater. Rest in Peace.

Just saw the headline. Not gonna lie, I feel the need for a stiff drink. I have a DVD of what was perhaps her first film appearance of note; "A Swinging Summer". RIP, Raquel.

^^I was just thinking about the shows that she was part of during Vietnam. Not a Vietnam era vet, but those shows must have meant a lot to thousands of the troops.

Bummer, sorry to hear this. As a growing boy in the 60s, she made quite an impression on me.
