In 1965, she recorded two songs, "Am I Too Young" and "He's Good For Me", for a 45 rpm record released by Plaza Records. She recorded several tongue-in-cheek songs, including "Santa, Come Up to See Me", on the album "Wild Christmas", which was released in 1966 and reissued as "Mae in December" in 1980. Demonstrating her willingness to keep in touch with the contemporary scene, in 1966 she recorded "Way Out West", the first of her two rock-and-roll albums. The second, released in 1972 on MGM Records and titled "Great Balls of Fire", covered songs by The Doors, among others, and had songs written for West by English songwriter-producer Ian Whitcomb. After a 27-year absence from motion pictures, West appeared as Leticia Van Allen in Gore Vidal's "Myra Breckinridge" (1970) with Raquel Welch, Rex Reed, Farrah Fawcett, and Tom Selleck in a small part. The movie was intended to be deliberately campy sex change comedy, but had serious production problems, resulting in a botched film that was both a box-office and critical failure. Author Vidal, at great odds with inexperienced and self-styled "art film" director Michael Sarne, later called the film "an awful joke". Though Mae West was given star billing to attract ticket buyers, her scenes were truncated by the inexperienced film editor, and her songs were filmed as though they were merely side acts. Mae West's counterculture appeal (she was dubbed "the queen of camp"), included the young and hip, and by 1971, the student body of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) voted Mae West "Woman of the Century" in honor of her relevance as a pioneering advocate of sexual frankness and courageous crusader against censorship. In 1975, West released her book "Sex, Health, and ESP" (William Allen & Sons, publisher), and "Pleasure Man" (Dell publishers) based on her 1928 play of the same name. Her autobiography, "Goodness Had Nothing to Do with It", was also updated and republished in the 1970s. Mae West was a shrewd investor, produced her own stage acts, and invested her money in large tracts of land in Van Nuys, a thriving suburb of Los Angeles. With her considerable fortune, she could afford to do as she liked. In 1976, she appeared on "Back Lot U.S.A." on CBS, where she was interviewed by Dick Cavett and sang "Frankie and Johnny" along with "After You've Gone."
