“Friendly, funny and a true superstar that I had a crush on for most of my childhood,” Feig added. “We have lost a true icon.”
Even the Muppets contributed a memorial to the icon.

Raquel Welch.❤🔥💔
That was 7 years ago. She was a guest on The Talk and I worked on the show Baby Daddy. Somehow our dressing rooms confronted each other. She was so kind and still a total bombshell and I was impressed pic.twitter.com/lmTkSH3SPe— Bruno Amato (@BrunoAmato_1) February 15, 2023
