MAE WEST came up halfway through Seth Rudetsky's column "Onstage and Backstage" in the latest Playbill.
• • Rudetsky was rehashing a career crisis: he had been booked to film a commercial on the West Coast, and needed to ask actor Kevin Chamberlin to fill in for him at a gig in Manhattan. Then they got to chatting about the Brooklyn bombshell and how she was never at a loss for a punchline.
• • Kevin Chamberlin shared a story about how quick-witted Mae West was, despite her age.
• • According to Kevin Chamberlin, one night Mae was walking through a casino in Las Vegas, and a guy called out from the craps table: "Hey, Mae! I'll lay 'ya ten to one!"
• • Without missing a beat, Mae West replied: "It's an odd time — — but I'll be there."
