Mae West |

 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Known for her seductive mannerisms and sharp retorts, in 1935 American actor Mae West became the highest-paid woman actor in the country by flouting traditional morals. She served time in jail on obscenity charges for her 1926 Broadway play Sex. After a successful career in motion pictures during the 1930s she returned to the stage and a series of nightclub tours. | ||||||
