Raquel Welch passes at 82
I saw The Nutty Professor at the UC theater when I was 8 or 9 years old. At that age, the girl was just a distraction - I was there to see Jerry Lewis. Stella Stevens was almost the same age as Raquel Welch but for some reason, I equate her more with the early 60s and Raquel's arc of fame seemed to stretch through the entire 1970s.bearister said:

In the So-Many-People-Have-a-Wayne-Shorter-Story category...
I went to Zellerbach last night to see the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. At one point, they described how New Orleans parade/Dixieland bands did funerals (mournful, then celebratory after the burial) and said they were going to simulate one in honor of Wayne Shorter (most people hadn't heard and were like "What?!?"). So they did and it was great. Then, I come home and read his name on this thread.
