About this listen

 Mae West, inhabited by the incomparable Natasha Lyonne, is revealed as a triumphant figure who hides behind her lascivious image. At age 78, West had returned with a vengeance as a camp hero of Gore Vidal’s provocative Myra Breckenridge, only to break the last Hollywood taboo: showing that an older woman could not only get top billing but could also be seen as a sex object. “I’m the greatest thing since Valentino,” she quips in the interview. Celebrating her curvaceous body, she heaps scorn upon the sharper curves of her co-star, Raquel Welch, to whom she refers simply as "the other woman".©2022 Audio Up, Inc.
