A charming article on MAE WEST appeared in Vintage News in 2017. Let’s enjoy it together.
• • Mae West did not begin her film career until she was almost 40 years old • •
• • Mae West’s star status was cemented • •
• • Brad Smithfield wrote: By this time, Mae West’s status as a star was cemented. She kept on starring in more movies as the decades of the 20th century went by, many of which she wrote herself. In the long run, even her once immoral jokes became embedded as part of American pop culture.
• • Her life story as a liberated woman • •
• • Brad Smithfield wrote: She would pass away from natural causes two years after her last role in the 1978 film “Sextette” in November 1980, aged 87. Her figure and life story as a liberated woman never afraid to voice her opinion will always be a reminder to people that it is never too late to go after their dreams.
