When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before.
"Mary Jane "Mae" West" was an American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned seven decades.
Known for her bawdy double entendres, West made a name for herself in vaudeville and on the stage in New York before moving to Hollywood to become a comedienne, actress, and writer in the motion picture industry. In consideration of her contributions to American cinema, the American Film Institute named West 15th among the AFI's 100 Years...100 Stars/greatest female stars of all time. One of the more controversial movie stars of her day, West encountered many problems, including Censorship in the United States/censorship. When her cinematic career ended, she continued to perform in Las Vegas Valley/Las Vegas, in the United Kingdom, and on radio and television, and to record rock and roll albums. Asked about the various efforts to impede her career, West replied: "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it."
