Mae West: Dirty Blonde

A stunning and enjoyable portrait of Mae West, Hollywood's biggest star of the 1930s. Before there was Madonna or Kim Kardashian, there was Mae West - a dominant female icon with a presence that combined sexiness and sting. Her career began at age seven, on various stages, from Broadway, to the silver screen, to music, and in her twilight years, she became an icon of camp. West’s cinematic fame was realized in a series of quick, witty, and hilarious comedies; in which she conquered men who tried to tame her. The sharp tongue, the sarcastic smile, and the lack of seriousness that always accompanied her performance are all parts of what made her, even by today’s standards, an extraordinary character.
