1892–1980, American stage and movie comedienne, b. Brooklyn, N.Y. The unparalleled mistress of double entendre, West began in burlesque and continued on stage and in films to treat sex in a broad and humorous form. As a result, she was constantly battling against the Production Code (see motion pictures). Many of her one-liners, such as “Come up and see me sometime,” have become classics. Her plays include Sex (1926) and Diamond Lil (1928). Among her films are She Done Him Wrong (1933) and My Little Chickadee (1940).
See her autobiography, Goodness Had Nothing to Do with It (1959), The Wit and Wisdom of Mae West (1967), and biography by E. W. Leider (1997).
