Today is Mae West's birthday. I'm celebrating by sharing some videos I've been storing in the Classic Movies archives for far too long:
I love this Dick Cavett interview with Mae West. She's clearly telling some well-worn anecdotes, but she's got a charming way of telling them. Embedding is disabled for this link, so you'll have to leave me for a while to watch it-- YouTube
Mae West singing Light My Fire. Kind of horrible, kind of awesome. The sirens are a nice touch.--
I love this footage of West's 1957 Vegas act. It's silent footage accompanied by her songs. She sure did like her muscle men (now I know what my grandma's summer sandals would look like on a guy).--

ReplyDeleteI've had them bookmarked for so long--I thought I ought to set them free!
