Mae West: Dead or Alive?

Mae West, at age 87, suffered a series of strokes which finally resulted in her death on November 22,1980 in Hollywood, California.
The actress passed away quietly in her Hollywood apartment (Ravenswood). Private services [conducted by Dr. Lloyd Ogilvie and attended by about 100 close friends and family] were held in the Old North Church at Forest Lawn, Hollywood Hills.
.
Her eulogy, written by Kevin Thomas and delivered by producer Ross Hunter, concluded: “Mae West always said that no one was ever to feel sorry for her, and she would not want anyone to start now. Mae West figured that in one way or another she would live forever. And she probably will.”

Entombment was in the West family mausoleum at Cypress Hills Abbey in Brooklyn, New York.

Cause of death: Complications from stroke


Burial: Cypress Hills Cemetery
Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, USA
