  1. Mae West is in good company at the Cypress Hills Cemetery. Victor Moore, her co-star in The Heat's On has a crypt there. Her pursued her in the film and in a scene where his toupee flips over, Mae nonchalantly quips, "Don't look now but your hair is slidin."
    Gentleman Jim Corbett, another one of Mae's real life admirers reposes in the same mausoleum. I was fortunate to be part of the privileged group that went up to see Miss West during the special tour of her NYC haunts in 1993 on the 100th anniversary of her birth. What a fascinating experience that was! I was even quoted in a New York Times articles chronicling the tours events.
