Rumors vs. facts


1. How true was that "using earpieces to feed Mae West her lines" rumor? 2. Was Mae West senile like some people have said? I have not even watched this film, but I am morbidly curious.

reply

she doesn't appear to be senile. She does look a bit odd - heavily made up etc to try and make her look younger. i've always assumed that her character is meant to be considerably younger than Mae west was in reali life when this was made.

I think she was made up that way for Myra Breckinridge also; to look younger than her years.
