@MsJCBurke she was about 5 feet tall but she made up the height difference by wearing real tall shoe and hair dos that big and big hats. all so she could be in the right height range.
Not all women who flaunt sexuality openly on TV these days live that day in their daily lives, even the big name celebrities like Madonna don't do that.
Mae West was a woman who apparently not only preached sexual freedom but actually lived it. I wonder what she used for birth control in those days. I don't know how fashionable or taboo this sort of thing was in her days.
I read a long time ago somewhere, I don't remember where, that Mae West held the Guinness World Record for number of sex partners in a lifetime, which was about 10,000. I wonder if this is true or not. If she had a different partner every day or night, then this might not be impossible. I wonder what she used for birth control. I also read she go into self-administering enemas later on in life, as a preventative health measure.
@formerlyaskeptic1 there are 365 days in one year. it's possible to have 10,000 partners in a life time ....easy. although i wouldn't try it with all the diseases spreading today.
Mary Jane West was born on 17th August 1893. She started out in vaudeville and moved up to Broadway but it was her movie career that made her an international star. The queen of a thousand quips and innuendoes and a smart cookie to boot, here's to the wonderful Mae West....
The first woman entertainment power player. She wrote, directed, acted in and produced her own plays on Broadway. The highest earning person in the US in 1940. More on her career, impact and lovers in Sirens of The Roaring 1920's - Mae West (plus the real story about her most famous line..).
thats interesting, I guess there is something of MW in Lady's impersonation, but MW was really clever and ridicularized the whole thing in a subtle way, thats why she is different than other sex symbols like Marilyn Monroe. She's always on top of her own game and the humor is never on her, its on you.
Reply to mrgumby42000 - I disagree with characterizing any of Mae West's comedy as filth. In the 1950's I started watching her films on the local affiliates of the 3 major TV networks. For several decades they were often shown there, then the old Hollywood film libraries started going to cable TV. I've seen almost all her films. She had a wit & flair that is unmatched today, in part because she did it without the F word, MF word, CS word & other low class words for sex & genitalia.
What are you talking about? Mae West is known for obscenity!!! She's quoted saying, "I love censorship. I made a fortune out of it."
Mae West built her career on a foundation of obscenity and innuendo. Granted, what was considered obscene in her day isn't necessarily obscene to us, but so it was nevertheless.
You've got to be kidding me! Every single one on Mae West's one liners were puns about sex! I'm not saying this is a bad thing, but it's awfully hypocritical of you to dislike newer comedy for bad language when this stuff is often more filthy.
she is a example how to seduce the mna.Today women lost of their charm seductive nature
an donly remember that to be equal.Just want behave like open window without any secret and flirt.
I am a foreign woman an d see it on the streets. Amer women wanted freedom but killed sex smile in this country if man can't make compliment because they afraid.What shame!!! to America/ Woman hold the man in this country on the leash.And they are like rabbits castrated only like dogs.
@Hotshotter3000 - I totally agree!,,,Love Miss Mae. She always say the first thing that comes to her mind. Even in real life....way ahead of her times!
There is no substitute, no one compares to the original Mae West... when she was good, she was great... but when she was bad, she was better! ; ) So great to see her on YouTube.
"i see a man in your life" ......"WHAT only One?"" the fortuneteller also says "I see a change of position" Mae replies..."standin up or layin down" she was incredible.
Ms West was way ahead of the times....sophisticated, intelligent, and so unique!! Also... she discovered Mr. Cary Grant at Paramount. Long live these special moments :) Thanks :) Jen
vincent, you're so right! 75 years later, she still outshines all the so -called sex goddesses put together and squared. Funny and sexy, what a devastating combo!
Grammaw probably watched these films and said things like; "What's she saying?"

Mae West & Texas Guinan were great
examples of women who were very hip &
very witty without using obscenities in
their acts, unlike so many comics today.
And now the Internet, including YouTube,
is loaded with people spewing the most
obscene language as easily as they
breathe in & out. If they could see it all
today I think Texas & Mae would say
"Show some class!"
