Introducing Mae West 

Mae West (August 17, 1893 - November 22, 1980) was an American actress, playwright, screenwriter, and sex symbol.

Known for her bawdy double entendres, West made a name for herself in Vaudeville and on the stage in New York before moving to Hollywood to become a comedienne, actress and writer in the motion picture industry. One of the more controversial stars of her day, West encountered many problems including censorship.

When her cinematic career ended, she continued to perform on stage, in Las Vegas, in the United Kingdom, on radio and television, and recorded rock and roll albums.

Mae in Her Own Words 

'Whenever I'm caught between two evils, I take the one I've never tried.'

'I feel like a million tonight. But one at a time.'

'It is better to be looked over than overlooked.'

'I've been in more laps than a napkin.'

'I see you're a man with ideals. I guess I better be going while you've still got them.'

'I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it.'

'A man has one hundred dollars and you leave him with two dollars, that's subtraction.'

'A dame that knows the ropes isn't likely to get tied up.'

'I climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong.'

    Marvelous! What a great idea to do this and what a great lens. I watched the Cavett interview twice which is completely enjoyable. And who can get enough of Mae West's quotes? You drenched me in them and for that I also thank you. 5* and favorited, of course.

Other lenses you might like....
