I'm ten years younger and literally falling apart. I first noticed her when I was a kid on the Hollywood Palace variety show in the 60s. She would come out on stage in a skimpy outfit to announce the next guests and was known simply as Raquel. In an amazing turn of events, her brief appearances on that show led to her stardom. On the show where she was just basically a beautiful decoration announcing the acts, she came back and became one of the featured acts herself.
