Raquel Welch has been out promoting a new sitcom she appears in. A friend sent out an urgent bulletin to beware her talk show appearances, as she's virtually unrecognizable with her newest face. Seeing photos of Miss Welch during Fashion Week triggered a Hollywood trashtastic memory of Raquel and Mae West (above) in the gloriously bad classic Myra Breckenridge.
As documented here, Raquel Welch threw many an on-set hissy over Mae West. From costume misunderstandings to stolen musical numbers, Mae became the Bette Davis to Raquel's Joan Crawford. If decades of industry rumors have any truth, Raquel Welch has never slackened the levels of persnickety she achieved because of Mae West.I am a lifelong Raquel fan. From the time I was old enough to pay attention to grown ups talking, every woman had something catty to say about Raquel every time her name came up. This is precisely why I like her. But as I gaze upon the latest pictures of Raquel, I can't help but notice that karma's a bitch because she now looks pretty much like...
...Mae West in Myra Breckenridge!! Slap a long platinum wig on her head and we'd have the ultimate Celebrity Plastic Surgery Karma Morph.

Be careful..kharma could be turning you into one of those catty women you describe.
Having seen the gorgeous Raquel on numerous
shows lately, I couldn't disagree more - she looks
AMAZING! Her appearance on the Early Show left me mesmerized: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/02/04/earlyshow/leisure/celebspot/main3786073.shtml
And on Craig Ferguson - "wow":

Sad but so very, very true...
"as she's virtually unrecognizable with her newest face"
Not in the slightest.
Anyone can take a bad photo, the angle of the photo above is entirely WRONG.
I saw Raquel on the Craig fergus show qnd I must say that although I am a woman and 19 years her junior I would go gay foe Raquel right now (wishing the feeling were mutual) in an instant she looked spectacular.
