Of course she's from Brooklyn, so there's no surprise there. What I'm curious about is whether she and Grant knew each other in the very early New York days, when both were struggling to gain a foothold in show business. Grant's biography alludes to some seemy business involving solicitation that she was privy to and that he desperately wanted kept quiet. He was never comfortable around her and it seemed to be more than his annoyance with her boasts of discovering him in Hollywood.Deb55https://www.blogger.com/profile/09502045071381822100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833161426229360042.post-30644582167825309982009-07-30T17:49:53.490-04:002009-07-30T17:49:53.490-04:00great post again rupert.

MacMurray and Lombard do make a great team. The other film is “I'm No Angel” and West's film are unique to her. Again, as you rightly state it is the dialogue and her delivery that makes these films what they are, a blast! <br /><br />I have "Forbidden" buried somewhere in my collection and like yourself, I love Stanwyck, so I really need to find this film and watch it.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808503055317962289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833161426229360042.post-84857914367408960502009-07-27T21:30:50.275-04:002009-07-27T21:30:50.275-04:00I wish I could have just a little of Mae's &qu...I wish I could have just a little of Mae's "hutzpah"!Lesley Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16616133721270536327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833161426229360042.post-19569175962516900092009-07-26T21:04:26.405-04:002009-07-26T21:04:26.405-04:00Come up and see Mae, honey.

I wasn't that much of a Mae West fan as a youth--probably because I didn't get her innuendo. Mae really was one of a kind then AND now. Her famous one-liners are timeless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
