• • Mae West's former co-star Raquel Welch [born 5 September 1940] is one of the stars of a new TV sit-com 'Welcome to the Captain' — — set inside a vintage apartment house in Los Angeles. Welch's role requires her to be a faded femme fatale who dreams of resurrecting her long-dead career.
• • In "Welcome," which premieres Monday at 7:30 p.m. on Ch. 2, the 67-year-old Welch stars as sexpot Charlene Van Ark, a faded actress whose career peaked when she was on a prime-time soap opera — either "Knots Landing" or "Falcon Crest," nobody can remember which — back in the 1980s. And she still harbors hopes of reviving her career.
• • For all of Charlene Van Ark's over-the-top sexiness and man-hunting persona, Welch sees her as being rather "vulnerable."

The last thing I caught Raquel in was "American Family". A PBS series where she played Dora, the main character's eccentric sister. She was terrific, and I have to say "Welcome to the Captian" sounds like an excellent vehicle for Ms. Welch. I would watch.

• • The poster for the new TV show has Raquel Welch tricked out in a tight leopard sheath.
• • Yes, she has been "enhanced" by plastic surgery - - and gosh knows what else - - but if she can convince the American public that 67-year-old sexpots deserve adoration, I am all for it.
• • There is an upside to being worshipped from afar.

Welcome to the Captain premieres tonight on CBS. It looks cute, but I haven't been into sitcoms for years.

Raquel Welch was on The CBS Early Show this morning. She has always promoted health and exercise. I have her workout video from when she was 40 and her later yoga ones. You have to admire how she has pushed a healthy lifestyle over quick fixes.

And yes, I'm sure her 67 year-old face has seen some work, but it is not as extreme as many aging Hollywood stars.

I've always liked Raquel's down-to-earth attitude. She doesn't say much, but she always makes good sense.
