Trivia
Although Gore Vidal spent 40 years taking potshots at film, he still maintains that he has never even seen it - an allegation he makes at least twice in his 2009 photo memoir 'Snapshots in History's Glare'.

In the 1970s, Gore Vidal wrote in Esquire Magazine that when he found out Myra Breckinridge's director Michael Sarne was now working as a waiter in a pizza restaurant, he said it "proves that God exists and there is such a thing as Divine Symmetry."

Goofs
Apparently pieced together from different takes, Myra's blouse collar alternately appears fully outside, partially inside/outside and fully outside her jacket during the scene in which she "depantses" Rusty in her office.
Share this
When Myra begins preparations to trace Rusty's spine, she uses a buckled strap to keep him from moving - yet strap becomes considerably longer between shot where she anchors his left wrist and shot where she tightens strap on his right wrist.

Quotes
Buck Loner: How's it goin' ladies?
Share this
Myra: Gentlemen... I am Myron Breckinridge! Uncle Buck, your fag nephew became your niece two years ago in Copenhagen and is now free as a bird and happy in being the most extraordinary woman in the world!

Myra: I am Myra Breckinridge, whom no man will ever possess. The new woman whose astonishing history started with a surgeon's scalpel, and will end... who-knows-where. Just as Eve was born from Adam's rib, so Myron died to give birth to Myra. Did Myron take his own life, you will ask? Yes, and no, is my answer. Beyond that, my lips are sealed. Let it suffice for me to say that Myron is... with me, and that I am the fulfillment of all his dreams. Who is Myra Breckinridge? What is she? Myra Breckinridge is a dish, and don't you ever forget it, you motherfuckers - as the children say nowadays.
