• • Quote, Unquote • •
• • An article about Paul Novak discussed Mae West.
• • Christopher Hawtree wrote: Among the many men who used to call by Mae West's house in Santa Monica, California, after working out on nearby Muscle Beach was a wrestler called Mr Baltimore, who has died aged 76. Otherwise known as Chester Krauser [born 1923], he had been in the chorus line of West's mid-1950s nightclub act. West was 62 and had currently been involved with two other hunks from her stage act. But as West recalled, the 32-year-old Mr Baltimore 'had an air of serious liveliness about him one day that I supposed conveyed his happiness at having me all alone.'
• • Christopher Hawtree continued:  Mr. Baltimore became Paul Novak during his long liaison with Mae West.

• • The Mae West Blog was started ten years ago in July 2004. You are reading the 2961st 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.
