Myra Breckinridge is not the movie that made Raquel Welch a star. Myra Breckinridge was a loser at the box office no matter how funny it was.  It was one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.  It might have been an official loser but Raquel was great and hilarious in it and it was, in a several ways, a great movie.
