Mae West, pseudonimo di Mary Jean West (New York, 17 agosto 1893 – Los Angeles, 22 novembre 1980), è stata un'attrice statunitense e, prima ancora, una star del musical e prima vera e propria sex symbol del cinema. Dotata di un piccante senso dell'ironia e di curve sinuose e abbondanti, che esibiva in pose languide e provocanti, raggiunse il successo cinematografico dopo aver compiuto i 40 anni; fu maestra del doppio senso, scandalizzando l'America perbenista e puritana del suo tempo. Sceneggiò la maggior parte delle proprie interpretazioni e volle sempre scegliere personalmente i partner cinematografici, privilegio raramente concesso ad altre dive del cinema. L'American Film Institute ha inserito la West al quindicesimo posto tra le più grandi star della storia del cinema. Wikipedia
