Episode 56 - Mae West

Episode 56 - Mae West

 

Courtesy of our pals at DLS NYC, we meet the first meta sex symbol: Mae West. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY  Mae was brazen, buxom, bawdy, sensational and sexy. She was known for her husky voice, risqué performances, and double entendres that slipped past the film censors. With over 70 years in show business on both the stage and screen, she scandalized the world of entertainment in a time when women were expected to sit on the sidelines. But, as Mae West would tell you, "goodness had nothing to do with it.”

 

DLS co-founder Florian Duijsens joins producer Susan Stone to introduce our featured Dead Lady. 

 

Artist, lecturer, researcher, and self-described 'professional eccentric’ JR Pepper tells Mae’s story; you can find out more about JR here: https://www.pepperart.com

DLS NYC is curated and hosted by Molly O’Laughlin Kemper, and was recorded by Jennifer Nulsen, all under the auspices of the KGB Bar’s Lori Schwarz.
