You'd Have To Know Who "Mae West" Was In Order To Get This

These days "Hollywood" is no longer limited to Hollywood. It was rumored that W.C, had several lawsuits against him for pushing slow cars off the road with his reinforced bumper;

Mae West quotes

By the way, the quote about 'is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?' is from 'She Done Him Wrong' with Cary Grant. A real classic.

I was disappointed that the only movie she made with W.C. Fields was 'My little Chickadee'. Apparently they argued about the proceeds and never got along after that.

(Nice little cameo with Margaret Hamilton in that one, too.)

Before she did that movie with him, Cary Grant was just a young guy trying to get his big break. This is how it went down: Mae and the director we're planning the movie, and the director said we don't have a leading man yet. They discussed a few names, Mae said no, then as they we're talking Mae glanced out the window and noticed Cary Grant walk by. She told the director to bring him in. She asked his name, and when she heard his voice she said "your going to lead in this movie". That's how Cary got his start.
In "My Little Chickadee", there we're many times Mae put W.C. Fields off the set for being drunk. W.C. Fields use to say "somebody stole the cork off my lunch" and, "everybody has to believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink".

Hey Big Boy, why don't you come up and see me some time...

Love it! Mae West was a real gem.

Like this thread -- I am amazed they let her get away with her comments in public. "Frankly my dear, I don't give a ****" caused a sensation a decade later.

And WC Fields(the Bank Dick) "My my, I do believe I detect a person of the **** ********** in the fuel supply"
"Some scoundrel stole the cork out of my breakfast" was tame in comparison.

Ahhh, that's right I was going to post a heads-up for an excellent buy on a marine grade cigarette light socket -- better get to it.

When presented with the choice between two evils, I generally take the one I hadn't tried before.

More Mae West quotes

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough
When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before.
I used to be Snow White, but I drifted.
I generally avoid temptation unless I cant resist it.
Anything worth doing is worth doing slowly.
Cultivate your curves-they may be dangerous but they won't be avoided.
I'll try anything once, twice if I like it,three times to make sure.
Save a boyfriend for a rainy day, and another, in case it doesn't rain.
His mother should have thrown him away and kept the stork.
I've been things and seen places.
Ten men waiting at the door? Send one of them home, I'm tired.

"Hey, big boy, is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

She and William Claude Dukenfield made quite a screen pair.

Just had Mexican style Christmas dinner. Surprise! Mex! A camper with a non-op slide-out tomorrow to fix.
