Mae West: Fully Developed

The Palm Beach Post-Times wrote an interesting piece about MAE WEST. This is Part 1 of two sections.
• • “Mae West: Juice and Water, Please” • •   
• • LOS ANGELES, Calif.  Mae West lives in a five-room apartment in a quiet section of old Los Angeles, near the Truth Chapel. She is a startlingly beautiful woman with alabaster skin, wide-set sapphire blue eyes, framed with long black eyelashes and a trace of eyeshadow. For a quick moment before she spoke, I wondered if I were faced with a stand-in, a lady some 40 years younger than Miss West's chronological age. I wondered aloud if she had heard of the wine inspector who had said once, “The 1921 (vintages) were like Mae West, fully developed from the start.”
• • Mae West said, "I don't drink and I don't smoke.” She quickly added with a laugh, “But I really think I should have tasted that." 
• • I asked her how it felt to be the only star in show business to have her name in the dictionary.
• • "You know how it all started, don't you?" • •  . . .
• • This is Part 1 and the conclusion will be posted tomorrow.

• • In the United States the bio-pic "Mae West" was shown on TV on Sunday, 2 May 1982. Actress Ann Jillian was cast in the title role. To announce this, Chicago TV Week Magazine put a beautiful photo of Mae on their cover; this issue was dated for May 2nd, too.
• • Overheard in Hollywood • •

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.
