Mae West: Elkhart Hall of Fame

W.C. Fields, who co-starred with MAE WEST onscreen in "My Little Chickadee" [1940] used this line in their motion picture: "Whilst traveling through the Andes Mountains, we lost our corkscrew. Had to live on food and water for several days."
• • Aware that you needed to coddle your marquee names, keeping them comfortable — — and well watered — — while working, in 1931 Paramount Pictures offered the Brooklyn bombshell a studio contract that also provided a novel perk: a chauffeur-driven “house car” (outfitted with an ice-box and other amenities) for the star to relax in while filming movies in sunny California.
• • According to globe-trotter Harriet Baskas: "Today, Mae West’s 1931 Chevrolet is just one of the unusual, iconic, or prototypical vehicles on display at the Recreational Vehicle/ Manufactured Home Hall of Fame and Museum in Elkhart, Indiana."
• • Learn about Henry Ford's 1935 house trailer and other Depression Era versions of deluxe mobile housing and other recreational vehicles in the article mentioned below.
