Mae West: Dead Sexy
Before the irreplaceable Mae West left this earthly plane, she graced us with her final starring role in Sextette. In a sexually-charged scene at a gym, West redefines the term chickenhawk, flirting with some strapping lads 60 years her junior.
Initially written as a play at the beginning of her career, the script was first considered too risqué for production, and lay dormant for nearly 40 years before finally being adapted and released as a feature film in 1978. Essentially the world's longest one-liner, Sextette is ridiculously star-studded, with Timothy Dalton, Dom Deluise, Tony Curtis, George Hamilton, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon, and Alice Cooper in major roles and cameos. With her personal stable of hunks, the 81 year old barely mobile Mae wooed the world and made no apologies throughout this cult classic.
