I have watched some of those old Mae West movies and for the life of me I can't see what the public saw in her back in the 1930's.
I do know that because of her and the success of her movies that she helped save Paramount Studios from going bankrupt.

cary grant related PING! Cary was the one to whom Mae uttered her most famous line "why don't you come up sometime..see me?" in SHE DONE HIM WRONG. One of my other favorite lines of hers in a Cary movie was "when women go wrong, men go right after them." I LOVE IT!

There are only three magazines to which I subscibe for which I save all the old issues. The New Criterion is one of them. Mark Steyn is a regular in it. The man understands our culture like on one else. That, among other things, is what makes him a conservative.
