Best of Mae West video - Why doncha come up sometime and see it?

[merrily]

I cannot get enough of certain things from this era. Mae West is one of them. In the Great Depression, which was actually quite lousy, people stood on lines around the block to spend some of their precious money to see Mae West movies.

She wrote some of her own dialogue and otherwise shaped her characters. I would bet the deed to my house that she wrote most or all of the dialogue collected in this best of Mae West you tube video.

1. There's some great dialogue in there! Thanks.

She was still working into her eighties, too. I bought this DVD years ago, and found a clip on YT.

And, in her advanced years, she recorded a lot of songs. I love the end to this one.

2. I prefer the earlier stuff, but I heard someone tell a story about her

when she was 80 or more. In a live show of some kind, she stood back stage for hours because she did not want her dress to wrinkle. Now, that's an old school pro.
