Portraits
That teasing glint in her eye, the whispered promises on her lips, her shoulders thrown back in a pose that lets you know exactly who is in charge. Mae West understood the power of a photograph. She personally made sure reporters had the best images in their photo files and would give a fan a fresh picture if offered a less-than-perfect one to be autographed. Our Portrait Gallery shows you exactly what a star looks like…

Life
Although Mae was too aware of any camera to ever be caught totally off-guard, these photos capture a little of her off-screen life. And notice those high heels! She was a knockout and a powerhouse, but at just little over five feet tall, she had to give herself a boost to keep from being looked down on by the rest of the world.
