Mae West is returning to screens everywhere
The Hollywood icon is the subject of an upcoming PBS documentary titled “Mae West: Dirty Blonde,” which will shed life on her personal life and career, People magazine reported on Thursday.
The actress, who reigned as a sex symbol in Hollywood during the ‘30s and continued acting well into her 70s, passed away in 1980 at age 87.
“Mae West crafted this image, she was a sexual gangster,” a voiceover can be heard in the trailer.
“Mae West was a pioneer for all those women who dare to be sexy: Cher, Madonna, Rihanna, Beyonce,” said fashion icon Andre Leon Talley.
West first made her mark at age 14 as a vaudeville dancer, the outlet shared. She would go on to star in films like “She Done Him Wrong,” “I’m No Angel,” “Sextette” and “My Little Chickadee.” She was considered one of the most controversial performers of her time and the highest-paid actress in America by the 1930s.
