      Thank you for letting us know that her mind was the largest part of her success! I admire her even more.
      Now I understand part of why she became an icon: she controlled her image through producing, directing, and scriptwriting as well as acting. And she did it at a time when women had fewer rights. Even now, it is *extremely* rare for an actor to do all four at her level of success.
      I had wondered how she had the opportunity to be so consistent, and appreciate the education.

      Miss West was only 5"1', which is way short for a Theatre Actress, which Mae was originally. So to be seen on stage she did everything BIG. Big Hats , Flashy gowns for the ladies to love, and BIG TALL SHOES. 8' inch shoe platforms, which gave her that famous strut. Mae West was truly genius when it came to entertainment. She didn't " play" Mae West, She Was MAE WEST !!! True to herself and Artform until the day she crossed-over. Thank you Mae West, for being MAE WEST !!!

    The singer Elisabeth Welch told me that she met Mae West in London in 1948. She said: 'Miss West was not brash, but so gentle you could hardly hear her talk. I admired the enormous topaz jewels she was wearing: matching necklace, earrings, bracelet & ring. Miss West explained seriously that this was merely her "summer jewellery." I wanted to laugh, but she was so sweet that I couldn't.'

And if you're referring to yourself as a gay man then why are you bashing other gay men for doing what they please, by calling them stupid drag queens, etc that makes you homophobic.
