An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Mae West (born Mary Jane West) was a major star in the early and mid 1930s, as famous for her racy comments and raw sexuality as for her actual acting achievements. She was the toast of Broadway during the late 1920s, because for ten years, she had starred in a series of very sexy plays, including "Sex" in 1926, for which she was prosecuted on morals charges in 1927! In 1928, she starred in "Diamond Lil" (which later became the 1933 movie "She Done Him Wrong"). But due to censorship difficulties, she made very few movies, and those were greatly toned down versions of her stage successes. Some of her movies include: Night After Night, She Done Him Wrong, I'm No Angel, Belle of the Nineties, Goin' to Town, Klondike Annie, Go West Young Man, Every Day's a Holiday, My Little Chickadee, The Heat's On, Myra Breckinridge, and Sextette! She passed away in 1980 at the age of 87. Condition: good. The still was used in a newspaper, and they put white paint around the portion of her portrait that they wanted to use in the newspaper, and wrote some pencil numbers on the white paint. I don't know how easy or difficult it would be to remove the white paint, and whether it would leave a stain, so please bear that in mind before placing a bid on this still.
