Before Tom Selleck was one of the most well-known actors of a generation, he got his start in the movie, Myra Breckinridge, with an actress who influenced several generations. I can see why Mae West personally cast the 24-year-old for that part in that 1970 film. Hubba, Hubba!
To hear about his audition for the feature, then click here.
Tom Selleck made his movie debut in Myra Breckinridge in 1970. He starred alongside the legendary Mae West.
Before he got the role, he had to audition for it, and he told The Talk hosts today it was not your ordinary audition.
The sex symbol told him to come up sometime to her place so that he could read for the part with her.
When they were done, she asked him to come over to her. Then she instructed him to put his hands on her waist and spread his legs!
Was she going to find out if he had a rocket in his pocket? Nope! The larger-than-life star was only 5′ tall, and she wanted to make sure the 6’4″ was not towering over her in their scene together.
So he did as she instructed, and the rest is Hollywood history and the start of one helluva career.
When they made that movie, West was 77 years old. Selleck is now two years older than she was when they worked together. She had a 60-year career, and he is going into his if you count his debut on The Dating Game in 1965.
It is as though she transferred her legacy onto him, and I bet neither one of them thought that would be the case with a small role that made a big difference in his life.

The Bad Boys are back on June 7th, and Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are not as young as they used to be when the first movie came out in 1995. And it is showing.
The two actors are on their promotional tour for Bad Boys: Ride or Die. At one of their stops, they got stuck inside a building and couldn’t open the door to get out, no matter how hard they tried.
Thankfully, Khaby Lame was able to save the day! He unlocked the door, and they were free!
The door was so happy because he was afraid of Smith. He had watched the fateful Oscars and knows what the actor could do.
Today, on the Drew Barrymore Show, Drew and Ross Matthews talked about colonoscopies.
If you asked most people about getting one, they would be like it is awful and they despise getting them.
Not the host. “I do love a colonoscopy, guys,” she excitedly told the audience. “You get to clean out. You get to be put out. And hopefully, you wake up to good news. Like, that’s my kind of date.”
Her co-host was left dumbfounded and declared, “She is so weird.” I am not going to argue with him on this declaration because it is spot on.
I have never met anyone who loved getting one. Have you?
The Bachelor franchise is like a Soap Opera so it would make sense the producers would want a Soap star to be their suitor.
Therefore, they reached out to the Soap legend Susan Lucci. While her All My Children character, Erica Kane, was married 11 times, the actress was only married once in real life. That is kind of like the premise of the dating show. There is one person holding the rose, but several people who want it. So in that way, Lucci would be perfect as the lead.
Lucci has been a widow for two years, so ABC wanted to fix her up with a new man on The Golden Bachelorette.
The Emmy winner told People that their people reached out to her people and asked if she wanted to join the show. She told them that it isn’t for her.
While she won’t be going from Soap Queen to Queen B on The Bachelorette in the Fall, she will be watching. It is a recent guilty pleasure thanks to her assistant.
