Mae West: Regis Philbin

How many remember when Regis came up to see Mae West in "Sextette"?
• • Native New Yorker Regis Philbin was born in August — — on 25 August 1931. As with Mae West, Regis claims Irish descent on his father's side.
• • From 1975 to 1983, he co-hosted "A.M. Los Angeles," a local morning talk show in California on KABC-TV with female co-hosts. Supposedly, Philbin's participation boosted the ratings and it became a top-shelf show.
• • While he was based on the West Coast, he had a cameo, playing himself in Mae West's last film when he was 47 years old. "Sextette," a 1978 Crown International comedy/ musical motion picture starring Mae West, also looped in walk-on bits featuring Hollywood gossip-vixen Rona Barrett and Mae's former lover George Raft playing themselves.
• • Regis Philbin moved to New York City to do a locally-produced morning talk show, which became nationally syndicated in September 1988 as "Live with Regis and Kathie Lee." He has an apartment on West 67th Street not far from his show's TV studios.
• • Celebrating his 76th birthday this month, Regis Philbin — — TV-talk show host, game-show host, singer, author, and TV personality — — is still going strong on the small screen.
