Mae West: Kalamazoo

MAE WEST is still being invited to movie premieres and she turns up.
• • Mae West, Humphrey Bogart, Groucho, and Harpo Marx ( Chico, Zeppo, and Gummo seemed to be MIA ), Marilyn Monroe, Bettie Page, Judy Jetson, Shirley Temple, Myrna Loy, the Blues Brothers, Cruella DeVille, Dorothy from the Land of Oz, and many more packed the Union with KAFI festival pass-holders sipping cocktails.
• • It took five stretch limos to truck the stars around the block to the Rave, where the red carpet, paparazzi, "Roger Ebert'' and "Joan Rivers'' awaited.
• • Cartoon fans and animators from all over the country, iconic movie queens from Tinseltown's Golden Age, and characters from fantasy lands all showed up in Kalamazoo, Michigan for the Hollywood-style advance screening of "Shrek theThird'' on Thursday night [May 17th, 2007]. The event was part of the kick-off to the Kalamazoo Animation Festival International.
• • The pre-Shrekapalooza party at the Union Cabaret and Grille provided reporters with a rare chance to interview Clark Gable. "I am quite pleased to see how many people are coming out to see this green guy,'' said Gable, who died in 1960. Clark Gable was not too familiar with Shrek, he admitted: "It's been a while since I've been out to see a movie.'' . . .
