Mae West: And the Men Who Knew Her

As the first "blonde bombshell," Mae West reigned supreme and changed the nation's view of women, sex and race- on stage, in films, on radio and television. Including clips from Night After Night, She Done Him Wrong, I'm No Angel, Belle of the Nineties, and Klondike Annie. In addition to home movies and archival footage, Anthony Quinn, Rex Reed and Robert Wise provide interviews.

[@FoursWithin]

​@@Franklin-pc3xd Mae was born a Mary not a Larry.

[@erlwilliam1]

Mae West personality and humor formulated my grandfathers sense of humor.

[@dnw9181]

I sincerely and truly enjoyed this, well done. She surely was a very unique and talented human being. Without a doubt know one can undeniably not respect this woman. She was an incredible Multi talented actress. I am sure she's giving the angels above a run for their money😉 or in her case diamonds💎

The one and only such a legend there will never be another

[@AlfieTheHammer363]

So Beautiful the Gorgeous and exciting Mae West ❤️❤️❤️ A True Star ⭐️ Bless Her Heart xxx

[@lordtom1997]

Also besides being very funny and charismatic she was already in her early forties when she was at the height of her career, some people you find it impossible at that time to be that age (40) and a leading lady in Hollywood. That’s pretty amazing of her.

[@a13xdunlop]

Some of the comments are really vicious, those making these sniping comments achieved nothing in comparison to her. Fabulous and witty even at 85, growing old is not a sin, best way to do it is the way she did it. Some of these men just do not get it.

[@judycasemore2168]

Mae born in 1893 was a women ahead of her time loved by all Still remembered to this day /2024.

[@Darrigrande]

She was one of her kind and will never be forgotten.

[@badnewssourgrapes]

Mae West told it how it was sure wish she was around nowadays 🙁

[@kevingonzales5149]

I'm sure Mae West got to see Janet Jackson do an impression of her on the TV show Good Times and The Jackson's family TV show. Mae was a true original.

[@Terryfredricks]

It’s not the men in her life, But the life in her men!!!

[@DianeSechler]

Her figure was the inspiration of Scaparellis cologne "Shocking" perfume bottle. I had some in the '50s.

[@marissaburgess6023]

And Jean Paul Gaultier copied it for his now iconic perfumes loved to this day

[@Proud_Texan]

I've always admired her and her style!

[@edl6398]

Mae West said she saw Grant crossing the street when she was looking out the window and looking at potential leading men at the studio. She asked the talent director who he was, not getting in her car.

[@LiseCoteBiron-lf1xw]

She had style

[@missconduct6190]

Interesting. I remember her famous sayings. I wonder 🤔 where her spirit lies...Good night young lady

[@user-tv1xj5ji6x]

Hello dear, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the Virus??

[@jimmyhd1969]

[@bod-essebod-esse4142]

Women with character have always existed.

[@stacey6831]

Please upload any thing you have on Mae West especially her movies

[@kimberry363]

I beg you, please post anything about Peter Lawford. I think his story is super underrated, more ppl need to know about this tragic death

[@yolandadelagarza7808]

[@yolandadelagarza7808]

LOVE 💕. 💖. YOU. FOR. EVER. MY. HEART 💗🩰. SOUL. GOES. OUT. TO. YOU

[@apartmentsixeleven4093]

It was NEVER stated or implied anywhere (at all) that West was "playing a character of 28." That is a fabrication in this doc (which I licensed some photos of West for in 1993). A shame it started the rumor, because it only adds to the wild embellishments most of these hams came up with in the film.

[@stepha2642]

A round circular bed? As opposed to a round square one?

My first love

[@stefanielucu7365]

[@NewWorldDAO]

[@nevillesellars6532]

No one like her to day

[@MamajLewis]

SICC EM

[@joesimon2018]

Her only equal might have been Groucho Marx

[@gabriellebernard198]

Sadly.they always attempt to rewrite history. Cary Crant starred with Marlene Dietrich the same

[@ScratchthechalkBoard]

Wow he got that Cary Grant story completely wrong

[@edl6398]

Exactly!! She told a different story during her Dick Cavett interview, which is available on KZbin.

[@Angellady11]

She wasn’t attractive but her personality and attitude and fashion made her attractive

[@Over60sowhat]

Way too unsympathetic.

[@NewWorldDAO]

Male

[@roseofsharon3240]

She was rather homely looking😃

[@nightstalkerck]

You will burn in hell for that one.

[@pattipaulsen7171]

I didn't realize til recently that she may have been a man in reality

[@yolandadelagarza7808]

INCREDIBLE. EXQUISITE. BEAUTIFUL BEAUTY ETERNALLY LIFE WONDERFUL EXQUISITE

[@davidwilson1398]

She was "One if a kind!!!!".

[@beaugoss4833]

That dude is fkn SICK!! Mae West wasn't even in the same State, let alone the same ballpark as Raquel Welche. Raquel was one SMOKIN HOT 🔥 Woman with class that didn't walk around with a silly childish annoying voice

[@OfficialYmaSumac]

She was a no-talent who starred in B pictures her entire life. Mae West was an American institution. It was almost embarrassing to see Welch's film credits when she passed away.
