I love Mae West because of her straight forward way. She said what she was thinking, no filter. A true legend. Many of the old Hollywood stars seems to like Max Factor, the same perfumes and vaselin. Ty for this video.

[@Stephanie_Vincent]

I love Mae West. She totally owned all the people who called her "fat". I love your videos, I've only recently discovered your channel. You're just so lovely and soothing to watch. And you do an amazing job at picking out modern accessories and such that would fit with a vintage star's tastes.

[@kaotic_fabel]

Mae West is amazing!!!! Her birthdate is debatable though. She notoriously lied. And she DID save paramount. She saved the entire movie industry. She asked what the top exec was being paid before she agreed to contract. She said she needed to be paid more than the highest paid exec. The community loved her. She was arrested for her play Sex, but didn't spending of her sentence in jail because the jailers wife loved her and tbey would take her out every night. Life bests were nicknamed Mae Wests during WW2. And she discovered Cary Grant. He had just lost his contract with the film industry and she saw him walking through the studio on his way out, she pointed him out from her limo, said he's going to be my leading man, and the rest is history. There is so much about her that is amazing.

[@zephyrsky__]

Unfortunately Cary said she was a man *facepalm* Mae brought up female sexuality but men weren't ready for it but she stood her ground.

[@marinamartinez6886]

[@SandraNelson063]

I had a quick look at Wiki to clarify my thoughts, but I did see that Mae West's liking for the Max Factor "make up" was well in line with other actresses. His products were initially meant only for professional theatre, film and TV, but they were just so darn good, actresses wanted to use the stuff for everyday wear as well. The company had no choice but to come up with a line of products for performers to wear in their everyday life, and then for all women who wished to emulate them. Max Factor did a lot of hands on work with the actresses, doing specialized facial charts for them to follow. Personal attention, and training in the correct way to artfully display their faces to best effect would have cemented the actresses devotion to the brand. No wonder Mae West kept using the PanStik and face powder. He would have taught her how to properly apply them AND how to use the eye shadows. I thik he would have told her what I had to learn myself; a light application, properly applied, is much more attractive and anti aging than than slathering on thick layers of gunk.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

yes totally

[@marjoriemargel1567]

Mae actually was making her own stage makeup before Max Factor had started on actresses. He certainly was a genius! He had his shop on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard for decades. There was a room for Blondes, another for Brunettes, and a third for Redheads! He also was the one who decided Lucille Ball should be a redhead! She loved him too and was the makeup man for I Love Lucy in the beginning.

[@sarafstop32]

An interesting part about her life that not a lot of people know is that she was a Spiritualist. Many summers from the 1930s on, she made the long trip to the Spiritualist community of Lily Dale in Western NY State. She had regular readings from her favorite medium, Jack Kelly. Those two raised the funds to build the Healing Temple. In fact there's a photograph of the two of them near it. She was a very interesting woman.

[@karenhill3970]

Very interesting! I just loved her...still do love her movies..she was very feminine but tough on inside ..didnt let Hollywood get to her...she "made it happen"..i read too somewhere she was a very loving person..would love to hear about her home life! Like how did she spent time w realatives, holidays , ect like a real" person....

[@marjoriemargel1567]

She held regular seances in her apartment at Ravenswood in LA!! Also, if you read about her life and family, she was very good and very close to her parents, brother and sister, Beverly. She had a happy family that she always took care of.

She's one of my favorites. My Grandma and Grandpa both loved her.

[@merriemisfit8406]

On a few of my return trips to Los Angeles (after moving away) I stayed a few nights in Hollywood, and one day I walked over to the Max Factor Building and took a leisurely stroll through. I was astounded when, in his mint green room for redheads I wondered who the actress in one portrait on a countertop was -- and then it moved! It was my own reflection in a mirror! I have never looked that good EVER, and all I was doing was standing in his room intended to best showcase people with my hair color! So after that I would tell people: "If I ever need to be made up, Rimmel can do my lips, but Max Factor gets everything else." At least until Max Factor pulled out of the U.S. market. I grabbed a few last double-ended mascaras -- cocoa brown at one end and gold at the other -- at the "Mart of K" before it all disappeared. As for les parfums, I tried Joy briefly in the 1990s, and it smelled just awful on me. But that's just me. (ANYTHING by Yves Saint Laurent, however ... magic!}

[@kimberlyguiseppe-cooley8708]

Joy was once the most expensive perfume in the world, it was created by a Parisian fashion house, not a fragrance maker. It's no longer the most expensive fragrance today. Why don't you improve your research and get the history of Joy perfume correct?

[@amandacurrier3796]

I've watched her movie, "I'm No Angel," a film that supposedly help save Paramount studios! It had her trademark line, "Come up and see me sometime." It's a funny film, plus it was cool to see a young Cary Grant :)

Kasiagirl Cary Grant was kinda “discovered” by Mae while filming at Paramount, but he had already made several movies already. I like to think she was the one who made him a star though.

[@kasiagirl4708]

Marjorie Margel you are so right girl! I read in a Cary Grant biography that he was struggling trying to make it and he gave total credit to Mae for paving his way to making it big. I read that when Mae passed away her apartment was frozen in time. All decor was 1920’s-1930’s and people assumed she died broke which was far from the truth. She was smart with investments and her money. She truly is in a class all her own!

Mae West is a great favourite of mine, especially She Done Him Wrong. I am fascinated by the idea of putting vaseline over eye shadow.

It was open to everyone back then, but the stars had private appts back then.
