Ep 26: Mae West in Night After Night (1932)

1932 was a banner year for platinum blondes, but none dazzled more than the ethereal glow Mae West cast with white hair, a lavish gown from Travis Banton, and dripping with her own diamonds. In her first screen role, Mae West wrote her own material and set the bar very high for sass mouth dames set loose in a nightclub. She's modern, funny, and a total sex bomb. I close the episode with an excerpt from her juicy autobiography 'Goodness Had Nothing to Do With It'.
