Raquel Welch is known as one of Hollywood's sexpots. But she had her start in an Elvis Presley film in 1964! Because of an error on the back of the video box for Roustabout, many fans have no idea where to find Raquel's scene. The box asks a trivia question "who's that future star in the Roustabout shower scene?" The answer states, "Raquel Welch, who shot to fame in 1966's One Million Years B.C." Well, it is true that Raquel's first role was in 1964's Roustabout. But she was NOT in the shower scene. You can see Raquel in an opening scene of the movie where Elvis is performing in the tea house. Raquel and her friends come in and sit down at one of the tables. Raquel is the girl sporting the white head band in her hair. Raquel has a one whole line, then Elvis sings and has his first fist fight in the film.
Below you will see photos of Raquel from the scene. And, for comparison a shot of the other girl whom many mistake as Raquel Welch. We finally found out who she is by searching the internet! Her name is Beverly Adams and we just added a page devoted to her soon.
