    Back in the day! She was the pin up of that generation. Growing up the thoughts of her in that fur bikini kept me up at night.

    Just heard the news, this woman was the ultimate in her day and for years after, one of the sexiest women ever to have graced the big screen.

    Rip…

    RIP Raquel. Absolutely stunning lady and one of my top 5 of all time in her prime.

    Really sad to hear this. I remember being aware of her work at the age of 10 or 11. In fact I'm sorry to say the first time I became aware of her was from a rather crude joke that was going around our class at junior school, based mainly on her chest size.

    I shall try to remember her for Fantastic Voyage rather than that excruciating appearance on Terry Wogan's show in the '80s.

    I think she’ll be remembered for One million years BC

    I never saw that one. Even at an early age, the notion of humans living alongside dinosaurs annoyed me.

    Raquel was so beautiful and like many other young lads of that era adjoined my bedroom wall.
    RIP.

    What a shame, she was a class act.

    As an aside she was due into a WH Smiths to do a book signing and I was all set to go but had to work. The Mrs took my two oldest boys. Raquel made a great fuss of them and they were pictured in the local paper and TV news.

    RIP Raquel.
    Cheers,
    Neil.

    What a shame, another star has departed to Hollywood in the sky.

    Yep, definitely sad.

    I can remember her making me feel things I didn't understand as a young boy.
