1970ref. 198741970. Twentieth Century Fox's Myra Breckinridge publicity archive 1970 documents the visual promotion of a major-studio film centered on a transgender woman gender nonconformity and attacks on Hollywood masculinity. Adapted from Gore Vidal's 1968 novel the film starred Raquel Welch as Myra Breckinridge with John Huston Mae West Rex Reed Farrah Fawcett and Roger Herren in supporting roles; AFI identifies the film's subjects as including bisexuality homosexuality lesbianism "sex change" Hollywood actors students seduction and gendered social conflict. The material belongs to LGBTQ film and New Hollywood publicity culture illustrating how a controversial commercial studio release used star image costume and provocative gender performance to market a film built around trans identity and the disruption of conventional sexual roles. The archive consists of four 1970 promotional items for Myra Breckinridge: three color lobby card photographs and one vintage glossy black-and-white silver gelatin publicity photograph. The large lobby card measures 11 x 14 inches; the two smaller lobby cards measure 8 x 10 inches; the silver gelatin photograph measures 8 x 10 inches. The lobby cards show scenes from the film featuring Welch and Huston including images of Welch in the white costumes closely associated with the character's stylized screen persona; all three lobby cards carry the film title the 20th Century Fox logo and a 1970 copyright statement in the lower white margin. The images foreground costume celebrity and theatrical confrontation rather than narrative continuity making the group especially useful for studying the marketing of gender transgression through Hollywood glamour camp visual codes and star publicity. 1 Twentieth Century Fox.

1981ref. WALTER-FILM004146Vintage original second revision script by Gore Vidal adapted from the novel by Lucian Truscott USA. Los Angeles: Richard Roth Productions 6 March 1981. 11261 quarto brad bound in production wrappers. Paper filing label across spine NEAR FINE. Second revision draft script of this early form of an adaptation by Gore Vidal to television of Lucian Truscott's novel. In its present state the script would translate into a two-hour television film. Truscott's novel set at West Point at the time of the Vietnam War reportedly based it on fact. The completed film when screened on television dealt with homophobia both external and internalized and it was very strong stuff in the mid-1980s at the height of the Reagan era. The film was clearly troubling to some contemporary critics but it nonetheless was nominated for three Emmy Awards. A very interesting example of Vidal's work as a screenwriter especially because of the film's LGBTQ subject matter. Richard Roth Prod. paperback
