Mae WEST – I’m No Angel

"It's not what I do, but how I do it. It ain't what I say, but how I say it, and how I look when I do it and say it".

This was the very essence of the baddest, sexiest, flamboyant lady of all time, on and off the stage and screen. She was a man-teaser, a witty, larger-than-life personality who became a legend in her own life-time. No publicity agent, no movie mogul or theatrical impresario created this exotic image - it was achieved entirely by the lady herself, through her own natural talents, by dogged persistence and hard work laced with just a small measure of good luck. The little that hindered her determination to get exactly what she wanted, she turned to her own advantage. She thought and cared only about herself. "My ego is breakin' records," she once declared. About the public love affair she carried on with herself, she was once heard to remark, "I see myself as a classic. Who else can do what I'm doin' and look the way I look?" Who else, indeed? Sex and men were dominant factors in her life, on the stage and screen, and off. When off, she spent a considerable amount of time making her men 'comfortable', and there were plenty of them. They were drawn to her like moths to a flame.
