• • Mae West Relates Sexual Times to “The Saint” • •
• • Michael St. John wrote: [I received] an invitation to attend a reception at USC in honor of playwright Tennessee Williams. Karl Malden, Lawrence Harvey and John Voight were scheduled to be present. Producer William Castle, Paul Newman, Anne Jeffreys, Jean Simmons, Anne Baxter, and Mae West added enough glitter to the room to impress anybody in the business.

• • Michael St. John wrote: The banter between Malden, Harvey and Williams was an eye-opener for those curious about their close relationship through the years. Tennessee made no bones about what had happened to him and Larry Harvey while filming in Ireland. If their descriptions of their sexual excursions together had been put into a motion picture it would had to have been rated XX. The more Karl Malden attempted to shut his buddies up, the more Tennessee confessed his sexual adventures. It was quite an occasion. Shocking, delicious, but absolutely hilarious!

The reward was a trip to Hollywood and a meeting with Miss West. Bill was a little late in making the trip — — he had to wait until his wife went north for a vacation. . . .

• • Thank you for reading,
sending questions, and posting comments during these past fourteen years. Not
long ago, we entertained 3,497 visitors. And we reached a milestone recently
when we completed 4,000 blog posts. Wow!
• • By the Numbers • •• • The Mae West Blog was started fourteen years ago in July 2004. You are reading the 4088th 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.
