Another great actor. He had such a huge presence in his roles.
1893 Mae West – Playwright, stage and screen actress (Sextette, Go West, Young Man, I'm No Angel, Every Day's a Holiday, Diamond Lil, Sex, She Done Him Wrong, My Little Chickadee, Myra Breckinridge)
I have a great picture of her and W. C. Fields from My Little Chickadee hanging in the back bedroom. One of my favorite scenes of hers was when she was checking her fur and the hat check gal noticed her diamond bracelet and says, My Goodness! Are those diamonds? Mae's reply was, "Goodness had nothing to do with it." I'm sure she wrote that scene herself.
