In 1970, “From the book that couldnʹt be written comes the motion picture that couldnʹt be made,” or perhaps shouldnʹt have been. “Myra Breckinridge,” based on the novel by Gore Vidal, has its New York City premiere. Feuding stars Mae West and Racquel Welch are almost trampled to death by a crowd of two thousand of their fans. One of Twentieth Century Foxʹs biggest flops, the flick tells the tale of Myron Breckinridge (played by film critic Rex Reed), who after gender reassignment surgery becomes the man hating Myra (Racquel Welch). As she sets out to destroy Hollywood and the male species, wacky mayhem ensues. Also in the sprawling (and sprawled) cast: Farrah Fawcett as one of Myraʹs lesbian lovers, and Tom Selleck as one of Westʹs conquests.
