About Mae West
Mary Jane "Mae" West (August 17, 1893 – November 22, 1980) was an American actress, singer, comedian, screenwriter, and playwright whose career spanned over seven decades. Recognized as a prominent sex symbol of her time, she was known for portraying sexually confident characters and for her use of double entendres, often delivered in a distinctive contralto voice. West began her career in vaudeville and on stage in New York City before transitioning to film in Los Angeles.
She was frequently associated with controversy, particularly in relation to censorship. She famously remarked, "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it." After her film career declined, she remained active by writing books and plays, performing in Las Vegas and London, and appearing on radio and television. She also released rock and roll recordings later in life. In 1999, the American Film Institute posthumously voted her the 15th-greatest female screen legend of classic American cinema.
