• • "Inner View with Kenny Kingston: On Mae West and Being Psychic" • •
• • Many Hands: How to be a psychic — is that what you learned from Mae West?
• • Kenny Kingston: Well, nobody really teaches you this. When I was three or four my grandmother, Catherine Walsh Clarke, taught me tea leaf reading. Then my mother, Kaye, taught me psychometry. Then when I was 7 or 8 Mae West was a close friend of my mother's and she practiced clairaudience, which is listening to the sound of the voice and picking up the vibrations. Did you know that she wrote all of her plays while in a trance?
• • MH: No kidding?
• • KK: She was a multi-millionairess with property that she bought when she was in trance. She would just listen to that little tiny voice inside. ...
• • On Wednesday, 9 July 2014, The New York Times reported that "Kenny Kingston, 'Psychic to the Stars,' Dies at 87." The Times noted that "he was coached in spiritualism by Mae West, a family friend." Kenny Kingston was born on 15 February 1927, in Buffalo, N.Y. May he rest in peace.

• • Thank you for reading, sending questions, and posting comments during this past decade.
• • By the Numbers • •
• • The Mae West Blog was started ten years ago in July 2004. You are reading the 2957th blog post. Unlike many blogs, which draw upon reprinted content from a newspaper or a magazine and/ or summaries, links, or photos, the mainstay of this blog is its fresh material focused on the life and career of Mae West, herself an American original.
