If someone were to mention the most quotable bombshell in Hollywood history, most people would probably assume Marilyn Monroe.
However, I’d like to make an argument for Mae West– the iconic actress, playwright, screen writer, and sex symbol.
Mae West often played characters of audacity and sass because that’s who she was in real life. She had a natural way with using sexy double-entendres that made her known as the wittiest sex goddess of old-Hollywood.
A true deviant of her era, she was also one of the first feminist film stars of her time.
Mae West’s career began as a vaudeville singer and actress in 1907 which would be ahead of Marilyn’s time, making her image and reputation much more daring and provocative than miss Monroe’s.
25 quotes from Mae West that are better than anything Marilyn Monroe ever said.
