Despite all you think you know about MAE WEST, there’s always something new. Did you know that Mae West had an acute sense of smell, for instance?
• • This intimate interview with Mae West was first seen in 2009. This is Part 20 of 29 parts.
• • From the Archive: A Candid (and Entertaining) Interview with Mae West • •
• • Mae West said: “I was sorta tired” • •
• • Charlotte Chandler wrote: Mae invited me to smell some of the powders and perfumes on her vanity. She told me that she had always been extremely conscious of scents.
• • Charlotte Chandler wrote: Mae West continued: “My mother was responsible for my olfactory development. It wasn’t so much what she said as the way she smelled. We all learn more by example, especially when we’re very young.”
• • Charlotte Chandler wrote: Mae West spoke about Sex: “My best lover was a Frenchman. I always was interested in foreign affairs. One Saturday night we were at it till four the next afternoon. A dozen of those little rubber things. 22 times. I was sorta tired. Like I always said, ‘It’s not the men in my life, it’s the life in my men.”
• • Mae West spoke about sex and then about her mother • • . . .
• • This long and fascinating interview will be continued tomorrow.

• • On Tuesday, 7 August 1934 • •
• • Correspondence from Hammell to Joe Breen dated Wednesday, 7 August 1934, however, listed half-a-dozen script revisions that would be made. These modifications were meant to scrub away any implied immorality from the Ruby Carter character or the Tiger Kid.
• • Overheard in Hollywood • •
• • Mae West, never social, made the effort to get around and join in the life of the movie colony. It was too much.
• • So big Jim Timony, Mae's manager, put his foot down— unknown to Mae. No more interviews until after "I'm No Angel" was finished. No more "nothin' " — Mae was taboo.
• • In Her Own Words • •
• • Mae West said: "I haven't had time to change!"
• • Quote, Unquote • •
• • Motion Picture mentioned Mae West.
• • "Mae Keeps Them Guessing!" • •
• • Motion Picture wrote: Mae West is smart; there is no getting around that. She insisted, against studio advice, on making "She Done Him Wrong" as her first starring picture — — and it made $3,000,000 for the studio. Then, sensing that the public wanted to be shown that she could be amusing in modern dress, too, she next made "I'm No Angel." . . .
