Mae West: Honey Pie Paul

Sir Paul McCartney wrote music that was used in "Sextette" starring MAE WEST.
• • "Honey Pie" was co-written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney [Maclen Music, Inc.].  Dom DeLuise performed their song in the motion picture "Sextette."
• • Musician Ringo Starr took a role, too, in the 1978 movie.  The Beatles' drummer played Laslo Karolny, an imperious German film director who is a former husband of Mae's character Marlo Manners. 
• • Paul McCartney was born on Thursday, 18 June 1942 in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, United Kingdom. We wish Sir Paul a very happy and healthy 73rd birthday today.
• • On Thursday, 18 June 1959 • •
• • "You'd have thought that a favorite bootlegger had come back from Atlanta," wrote drama critic Robert Garland in the New York Evening Telegram in his review of "Diamond Lil" published on 5 April 1928. "Mae West makes Miss Ethel Barrymore look like the late lamented Bert Savoy."
• • Born on 15 August 1879, actress Ethel Barrymore died in the month of June — — on Thursday, 18 June 1959. Praised for her work on the stage, Ethel was an Academy Award-winning screen actress and, of course, a member of the famous Barrymore family.
