My my, Mae West. Not one day goes by without Mae West's name appearing in the news somewhere. How many actresses have left such a huge fingerprint on popular culture?
.
Even if you have never seen one of her movies, you can hear Mae's distinctive voice this instant, thanks to the nice folks at The History Channel.
.
Want to hear the "Words that Changed the World"?
The History Channel notes that: "Our vast collection of speeches is drawn from the most famous broadcasts and recordings of the twentieth century."
.
Here is where you will find four pages of links to audio clips of speeches and interviews including: Neil Armstrong as he took his first steps on the Moon; King Edward VIII's abdication speech; Thomas Edison on the development of electricity; and even the inimitable Mae West talking about men, women, and diamonds and speaking her famous line: "Come up and see me sometime. Anytime. The sooner the better" (1949).
