Sad to hear about the death of Raquel Welch at 82, reportedly after a brief illness. To understand just how huge the actress was back in the day you need only know that my sister-in-law -- born in 1974 to two deeply Argentinian parents -- was named after the bombshell. I guess you never get used to losing icons of your youth, so this cuts pretty deeply. Read a full obituary from a gay fan's point of view HERE.
RIP, gorgeous.
