Raquel Welch on wearing the iconic bikini in "One Million Years B.C." (1966) & the important advice given by James Stewart:
"I don’t do much in "One Million Years B.C." (1966) except run around in this outfit! I’m often asked if I get sick of talking about that bikini. But the truth is, I don’t. It was a major event in my life so why not talk about it?
Almost every day I get copies of the photo sent to me for an autograph. I must have looked at that photo one million times. I remember James Stewart telling me a long time ago never to avoid your fans or the things that your fans like about you. It was good advice.
We had several doubles of the bikini because when it got wet you couldn’t wear it the right way again. Nothing really happened to it. I have the ones that were left over, the backups."
