Mae West: 8 December 1898

On 8 December 1898 MAE WEST and her parents welcomed a new addition to the household — — sister Mildreth Katharina, who later changed her name to Beverly.
• • Also an aspiring actress, kid sister Beverly performed at the Fifth Avenue Theatre in 1916 in an act billed as "Mae West and Sister."
• • Mae West posed in her three costumes for this booking for photographer James Abbe.
• • One number featured Mae clad in male drag opposite a very feminine Beverly. Unfortunately, no photo of the sisters together onstage in 1916 have survived.
