I saw Racquel at a book signing last summer in Norwood NJ-she was shorter than I had thought or as she appears on screen, even in heels. I would venture a guess of 5'3". Ny gf bought her book so maybe its in there somewhere. she looked great for being close to 70!

I met raquel welch in 1980 at the 21 Club in New York. I am 5'6" and we were
both standing and wearing heels. She was noticebly shorter than I am. I was shocked, because on screen she always appeared so statuesque. I since have a grown daughter who is only 5'3", but she appears much taller in photos because
she is extremely leggy... which I think is Raquel's stately appearing secret!

Yes, because I was looking down at her and I am only 5'11". They were high heel boots, but, not sure how high they were.

Buff, do you mean no more than 5'7" in her high heels? If so, that would make sense.

I met Raquel several years ago at a Christmas party. She had on high heel boots and didn't seem to be more than 5'7". I am 5'11 and was surprised as I always thought she was statuesque. However, she was lovely and was very sweet to everyone. No Hollywood Star attitude at all.

Yes, and with regard to the picture link on Charles Varin's last comment featuring Raquel with Kate Linder, two things immediately struck me. Firstly, Kate is really slouching whereas Raquel is standing very straight and tall, and Raquel is also wearing what looks a lot like platform shoes/sandals, while Kate does not appear to be. Also, just because a person describes him or herself as a being a particular height doesn't necessarily mean it is true. I knew a lady who insisted she was 5'8" when she was clearly no more than 5'5", another who said she was 5'5" when she was closer to 5'2", etc. I should think that in Hollywood where the publicity machine had certain ideas of what "ideal" heights were, Raquel preferred to say she was a little taller than she really is. To be nit-picking, I've seen photos of her with other actresses known to be no more than 5'6" or 5'7" who towered above her. And why is M Varin so sure he is right and that everyone else who has a different view have "no idea what they are talking about"? Why would a difference of opinion in something so trivial as this (although quite fun in a light-hearted way) make him so "furious"? Hm.........
