Mae West: Settle Down

MAE WEST, who has not denied being 56, was still having trouble trying to settle down. "I'm still looking for the right man," she confided to the New York Post's Columnist Earl Wilson. "My trouble is, I find so many right ones, it's hard to decide."

• • Fred Jacobs wrote: Mae West fought to bring her vision of strong independent women to the stage and the big screen. All this in an era when women were still considered second class citizens and religious zealots “protecting” the public, were the norm. She fought the “morality” police at every turn, who aimed to censor her work. Her films contained no nudity, no profanity, and very little violence — — just mild tongue in cheek dialogue by today’s standards. Bravo Mae West!   . . .
