Myra Breckinridge (1970) -- (Movie Clip) Get Your Resumès Out First appearance by Mae West, brought out of retirement by a big payday and a contract that let her write her own dialogue and approve her wardrobe, as already-discussed Hollywood agent Leticia Van Allen, with Tom Selleck among her recruits, and clips with Richard Widmark in Kiss Of Death (1947) and Laurel & Hardy in Great Guns, 1941, from Myra Breckinridge, 1970, starring Raquel Welch, from the Gore Vidal novel.

Myra Breckinridge (1970) -- (Movie Clip) The Notorious Buck Loner Raquel Welch as the newly trans-gendered title character narrates, roughly from the Gore Vidal novel, Michael Sarne directing, entering the bogus acting school owned by her uncle-in-law, the ex-cowboy actor Buck Loner (John Huston), the acting-instructor is not credited, beginning her outrageous ploy, in Myra Breckinridge, 1970.

Mame (1974) -- (Movie Clip) Title Song After wowing the crowd with her unorthodox fox hunting, Lucille Ball (title character) is welcomed into Southern society by Robert Preston, as her new husband Beauregard, with a refined delivery of Jerry Herman’s title song, shooting on location in Georgia, Gene Saks directing, in Mame, 1974.

Mame (1974) -- (Movie Clip) Open A New Window Early in their acquaintance, Lucille Ball the title character and Kirby Furlong as Patrick Dennis, her nephew and new ward, in a portion of director Gene Saks’ elaborate staging of one of composer Jerry Herman’s better known numbers from the hit Broadway musical, Mame, 1974.
