Mae West: did you know. . .?

Where Mae Used to Live and Perform
.
Mae West rang in her banner New York year, 1928, with a one-night stand, hosting a nightclub, a la Texas Guinan, at Club Deauville - - then located at Park Avenue and East 59th Street [the night of December 31, 1927 - January 1, 1928].
.
Mae West had bought a townhouse for herself in the late 1920s - - at 266 West End Avenue - - just a few years before she moved to Hollywood. She lived there with her sister Beverly, whose Russian husband had divorced her over a scandal related to Mae's gay play "The Drag."

Incidentally, the Upper West Side [stretching roughly from West 61st to West 76th Street] is the single-most-star-studded area in Manhattan, according to the "Star Sleuth" Larry "Wolfe" Horwitz. Within this neighborhood is an area that Larry Horwitz has labeled a Star Walk: a ten-block strip along Central Park West that contains "the greatest concentration of movie stars and other celebrities anywhere in the world," according to him.
