A PBS documentary on Mae West—national treasure, fur stole icon—will be released on June 16, which is not a moment too soon. If hours of footage of Ms. West spitting bawdy one-liners like “A hard man is good to find” isn’t a balm for our grubby, unshowered souls, what is?\n
“I used to sing a Mae West song when I first started working solo. I actually did not know she was still alive; there was no internet...She sent me a cease-and-desist letter telling me to stop imitating her,” she recalls. “Of course I did, and I still have the letter! But truly, there will never be anyone like her. Her diamonds and feathers, her strict adherence to the clothes of the 1890s...were all part of the package.
How could you not love her? She believed in her creation, and she lived it every day of her life. Now, that’s commitment!”In anticipation of the documentary, here are a handful of the best Mae West lines out there, though I compel you to spend the rest of the night reading through the others:“When I’m good, I’m very good, but when I’m bad, I’m better.”“The curve is more powerful than the sword.”“I’ve been in more laps than a napkin.
