Resumo

Mae West. The name brings familiar images immediately to mind: the platinum hair, the swaying hourglass figure, the ironically murmured invitation to come up and see me. Few movie voices are as instantly recognizable; few performance styles as widely, and amusingly, imitated. From a movie career that spanned only ten films, West made herself into an enduring cinema legend-a performer who continues to fascinate a decade after her death.
