Mae West: Shimmy and Jimmie

MAE WEST often inspired one-liners by reporters. Sixty years ago, for instance, this amusing statement threaded its way down the center aisle of prime Hollywood real estate — — the "In Hollywood" gossip page.
• • Watching Mae West stroll down the avenue, I always catch myself musing on the sway of all flesh, Jimmie Fidler wrote on 17 December 1940.
• • Jimmie Fidler [24 August 1900 — 9 August 1988] was an American columnist, journalist, and radio and television personality. He wrote a Hollywood gossip column.
• • Source for the quote: Column "Jimmie Fidler in Hollywood," which ran in the Los Angeles Daily Mirror.
