Mae West: 1978 Ringo Starred

In the 1978 film Sextette, musician Ringo co-starred with Mae West. The plot is centered on Marlo Manners, whose ex-husbands are trying to get a tape that contains information about their relationships with her. Ringo Starr portrays Mae's former husband, the European director Laslo Karozny — — the fourth man that "Marlo Manners" has married and divorced.
Ringo Starr revisited the "raunchy shoot" with the 85-year-old West during an interview with WENN [World Entertainment News Network]:
• • Former Beatle Ringo Starr was the target of screen siren Mae West's advances while they worked together on 1978 comedy Sextette.
• • The iconic drummer, who played one of West's husbands in the film, was amazed by the cheeky sex symbol's advances - especially as she was in her 80s at the time.
• • "Mae was a terrible flirt. She tried it on me twice. I didn't mind really." He laughed. "She said she was 85, her maid said she was 87, and George Raft, who appeared with us in the film, said she was more likely to be 94."
• • "I'd like to know what she was on because I tell you she looked bloody fantastic." [Born in 1893, actress Mae West was 85 when Ringo met her.]
