Okay, so I came upon this today and I have to share it with you. It's from Raquel Welch's TV special from the 70s and she, like many sexy actresses from her day, attempts to sing. The fact that she really can't is masked by where-the-fuck-are-we locations and Bob Mackie costumes (though I will admit that her white dress is ssssssssssssstunning). And, yes, my homo ass is loving ALL of it.
My question is: why don't today's actresses do shizz like this? I think Sandra Bullock...Angelina Jolie...Pamela Anderson needs a singin'-n-dancin' special of her own.
Anyhoo, enjoy!
And if you like it, click here for Brigitte Bardot singing about a motorcycle on her special, click here to watch Cheryl Ladd (aka the Poor Man's Farrah Fawcett) giving you tropical-heat-realness on her special, and click here to watch Ann-Margret singing attempting to sing Proud Mary with Tina Turner.
what about the Susan Anton specials? (remember "Goldengirl"). I vaguely remember Neil Sedaka performing "Mississippi Queen" on her show.
Thanks for the AMAZING Raquel clip!

Ive always hated Cheryl Ladd. I dont think the "Charlie's Angels" director ever should have replaced Farah Fawcett. I believe Ladd was relegated to the graveyard shift for actors follwing the cancellation -- the so called "TV movie of the week". This speaks volumes about Ladd's acting abilities. As far as Im concerned she had no business starring in a good show like "Charlies Angels"
