Raquel Welch had a considerable flair for comedy. Her role in The Three Musketeers (1973) as Constance, the accident-prone wife of Spike Milligan’s lecherous elderly landlord, and lover of Michael York’s D’Artagnan, consisted of one contretemps after another – from spilling ink over the French queen’s letter to getting her foot stuck in a bucket while in bed with her beau.
While she provided, as always, her own unique glamour, her performance was good enough for her to win a Golden Globe for best actress in a musical or comedy.
