Storyline : Myron Breckinridge is waiting for her sex-change operation while a
stoned surgeon stumbles into the operating room. Before the drugged
doctor begins Myron's operation, he counsels him. Myron persists and the
doctor goes through with it. An enthusiastic audience observing the
operation applauds the medical achievement and rises in a standing
ovation. After the operation, Myron arrives in Hollywood as Myra while
in the rest of the film Myron pops up from time to time as Myra's alter
ego. Myra goes to an acting academy owned by her uncle, Buck Loner, a
former cowboy star. The real reason for Myra's arrival is to claim her
half of Uncle Buck's estate, which she says she's entitled to. Buck
Loner stalls by giving her a job teaching the history of motion
pictures. Buck Loner has several friends. One of them is Letitia Van
Allen, an ancient Hollywood talent scout. The sex-starved septuagenarian
runs an acting agency "for leading men only." {full_page}
