    Her appearance on a Seinfeld episode was classic and showed that she could make fun of herself .

    Never knew this, she was born in Chicago.
    Born in Chicago during WWII
    Jo Raquel Tejada, now more commonly known as Raquel Welch, was born in Chicago in 1940. Her father, Armando Tejada Urquizo, was a Bolivian aeronautical engineer, and her mother, Josephine Sarah, was Irish American.

    She was one, fine wahine. Even at 82 she looked fantastic. I'll be breaking out my One Million Years BC blu-ray this weekend.

    RIP, Ms. Raquel.
