She was a wonderful friend of mine for the last 15 years of her life. We spent many dozens of happy hours together. I still cannot believe she is really gone.

WOW, Mae West looks and sounds Amazing !!! A few years later she made her final film, SEXTETTE and she looked and sounded even better. Her gowns in that film were Fabulous !!

[@LoganLavery]

Her singing voice sounds as good or better than it did in her pictures in the 1930s & 40s. Incredible.

[@rodlabbe2976]

+Big Valley That's because the record was from the 30's. She was lip synching.

[@LoganLavery]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@Lampshade51]

She was lip syncing but it was to a new recording.

I WAS A PEN PAL OF MAES AND HAVE KEPT ALL OUR LETTERS AND PICTURES SHE SENT ME SHE WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL

[@willyboy6126]

So cool...I had the same experience with dear Joan Rivers. I'll treasure all that she corresponded and what she sent me. I'm happy you had a beautiful experience with Mae...stars like her and Joan really loved and appreciated their fans : )

[@fonso1030]

spectrumlocalb191 I had that for a limited time with Alice Faye, less than a year, because she died in mid 1998, and she first answered me around thanksgiving 1997. I’ve always loved Alice, and for Christmas 97 she sent me a small autographed publicity photo from the 40s. I framed it and I’ve treasured it since. The old stars, many were so appreciative of fans and their letters. I got replies from Art Carney, Joyce Randolph (who was also a great replier), Dick van Dyke, Bob Hope, and Ann Rutherford, to name a few. I would write to stars today, but everyone I like is dead 😂

@spectrumlocalb 191 WOW!!! You are so lucky to have Mae West as your Pen Pal.

Beulah, peel me a grape .... Miss West saved Paramount Studios back in the 30's. She was the 2nd highest paid person in country, only next to Randolph Hearst. The first to write, direct, produce and star in her own movies. She went to jail in NYC for refusing to shut down her show for being " too risque." She was the girlfriend of a mobster ( won't say who) that funded the show. Had quite the Black Book of Hollywood lovers. She sued the fan magazine and won. She was robbed at gunpoint for her diamonds while sitting in her car. She owned a 1934 Duesenberg j-370 convertible. When her black chauffer/ lover wasn't allowed into the building where she lived.... she bought the building. Miss West was a force, she didn't hangout with ppl. in Hollywood she had certain friends and family in LA. She was interested in afterlife, seances, and fortunetellers....but she was a studious skeptic of frauds. Miss West was interesting at the very least. So much more about the amazing MaeWest !!!

[@skotmiller8465]

Although I am a Mae West fan, the actions of the crowd is so phony, they are making fun of her. So shameful.

They were doing what the director told them to do. These guys were crazy about her and honored to be a part of this.

[@lydiamariewilliamson3544]

She has an elaborate updo. Do I need to tell you what I think of that or ... should I just show you? :) [Channeling Mae West here.]

Lol ...Miss West was a longtime successful stage actress. She was only 5' tall and needed to be seen onstage. Part of " height inhancements" we're her wig up-do's and 8" shoes, custom made of course.
