We’ve been getting thoroughly entertained by these “Diva on Diva” videos by Clippety on YouTube, and this one is a real interesting treat.
Two icons of sex and beauty brought together for 1970s camp classic “Myra Breckinridge” based on the controversial novel by the iconic Gore Vidal.
The film, like the novel, broke many boundaries tackling transexuality and machismo attidues in Hollywood, but was pretty much panned universally, and some consider it the worst film ever made. But, you have to give Raquel Welch much credit for taking on such a cutting edge role, and it really makes us love her so much more!
-Raquel Welch
The themes and tone the film exhibit would never fly today, so it really is a treat to watch!
So, take a look at what Raquel Welch had to say about working with Mae West, an icon of sex from the 1930s! 40 years between their stardom, you’re only bound for a little drama!
Divas be divas . . . but they have the right, don’t they?
Until next time,
