Mae West: Keith Allison

MAE WEST starred in "Sextette" [1978] surrounded by a bevy of young men who had minor roles. Rocker Keith Allison was patched into a scene as the waiter in Alexei's suite, perhaps one of his attempts to broaden his fan base by appearing on the silver screen, and also one of the producer's ploys to attract a younger audience with music marquee names such as Ringo Starr, Keith Moon, Alice Cooper, Van McCoy.
• • Born in Coleman, Texas in the month of August — — on 26 August 1942 — — Keith Allison was the songwriter and bass guitarist for Paul Revere and the Raiders from 1968 — 1975. Between 1972 — 2003 Allison was featured in fourteen film or TV projects such as "American Bandstand's 20th Anniversary" [1973 TV movie] with Paul Revere and the Raiders. He was last seen as Capt. James J. White in "Gods and Generals" [2003].

"We had to use four objects-I grabbed a can of San Marzano tomatoes, the book 'A Lover's Discourse' by Roland Barthes, a boa and a Mae West CD, and I went to class and made my first segment in five minutes-a recipe for tomato and clam sauce over pasta. "It was completely spontaneous and true to who I am-a little Mae West, tomatoes, and Roland Barthes," Ruggiero notes. Ruggiero has appeared as La Divina Cucina in various venues in New York City. ...
