According to James McDonough's biography "Big Bosoms And Square Jaws:
The Biography Of Russ Meyer, King Of The Sex Film," Lazar believes that
his role as Ronnie 'Z-Man' Barzell in 'Russ Meyer''s
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls (1970) wrecked his
career, despite its huge success at the box office. He feels he got
"typed" as a freak and was avoided by casting directors because of
Meyer and co-screenwriter
Roger Ebert's idea of having Z-Man be revealed as
a transsexual with exposed breasts.
