I have Raquel Welch to thank for becoming a more confident comedian. On The Muppet Show, she helped pick me up when I was down and she was someone I could confide in. Thanks for being my friend, Raquel.

Raquel Welch, 1960s actress and pinup star, dies at 82 https://t.co/5pazz8oG5Z Awwww. My Mama loved her! And even though I didn't know what sexy was back then, she had something men and women loved: she could act, and she was in a class all by herself.
