I'm likely the only one amused by this, but
When I searched for Martha Brockenbrough, my tablet suggested "Breckenridge" and I was like oh no, that's right, Raquel Welch died.

"She's got a lot of chutzpah and she's completely bonkers."

#GoreVidal's satirical novel is excellent. #MichaelSarne's 1970 #movie version was a critical & #boxoffice cataclysm.

#RIP #RaquelWelch (1940–2023)
Briefly – but memorably – a #film star in the mid-'60s, displaying her looks/physique in #movies like ONE MILLION YEARS B.C., FANTASTIC VOYAGE, & the disastrous #MyraBreckenridge, in which she's the sultry result of a sex-change op. (She and costar #MaeWest didn't get along at all.)
At her best in #JamesIvory's underrated #TheWildParty (1975), a precursor to last year's #Babylon.
Welch's orgiastic dance at her 1920s #Hollywood party is 1 of #cinema's highlights.
