Thank you for letting us know that her mind was the largest part of her success! I admire her even more.

Even now, it is *extremely* rare for an actor to do all four at her level of success. I had wondered how she had the opportunity to be so consistent, and appreciate the education.

This is a GREAT collection of Mae's brilliant humor! THANKS!

[@boomerang905]

The coolest, most real female in Hollywood. No comparison!!!

[@billolsen4360]

Remember well driving past her apt building in LA as a kid, would throw kisses from the back seat of Mom's '65 Bel Air

[@boomerang905]

@@billolsen4360 😊 That was cool.

[@JohnSmith-nj9qo]

Weirdly dirty considering that she was famous during the thirties.

[@RainDrifter]

Yes. And audiences loved this titillation. At one point, Mae was the highest paid woman in America.

+John Smith tv might have been censored not vaudeville

[@KS-yh4zx]

Mae West was actually cited as the reason the board of censorship in films was formed. So she turned to innuendo instead!

[@JohnSmith-nj9qo]

Kelsey Scott Don't you love how we can have a board dedicated to censorship and then turn around and say how much we love freedom of speech? XD

+John Smith They were a lot more tawdry back in the 30's, even to the 50's to a certain extent, than we think they were! This is one of a few examples I've seen.

"What do you want to do, drive me to a mad house?" "No, I'll call you a taxi." LOOOOOOL

God, she was classy and fun, and that will always be timeless.
