she was stunning in her prime, although it was her eyes that made her that way, she had a great shape, but nothing great, i'm sure tons of hopefuls and unknowns back in hollywood in the 50's and 60's had smacking bodies for that time ( i.e. the hourglass voluptous figure).
a history of pain mentally and physically is finally did her in, i mean she was 79 which isn't that old, .... how old is sophia loren? and she is still smoking hot, best looking grandmother in the world. alot of it has to do with genetics and just how you take care of yourself, which loren did and still does, probably a combination of genetics and that great mediterranean diet, etcetera.
in regard to raquel welch! damn that woman is 66 years old! i don't care if she's had millions of work done on her face, plastic surgery can only do so much, and she is still fricking hotter than hell. she puts to shame the fricking wannabees and sluts nowadays i.e. K.K.
who was sexier raquel or elizabeth? well, it's a different kind of sexy and a different kind of beauty too.
raquel is pin-up sexy then and now, while taylor was more "classy/classic proper beauty" looking. raquel would be the ultimate hooter girl.
raquel, elizabeth and marilyn? to me, raquel would be fun and hot in bed, marilyn would be fun and sweet and hot making a man feel like a man and elizabeth would be rough and possessive at times both needy and controlling, almost acting like she was the man in bed. that's my take on these 3.
