Mae West arrested for obscenity
Mae West was a Hollywood star and sex symbol known for her double entendres and witticisms. From appearing in Broadway she moved to Hollywood and made her first film there, 'Night after Night' in 1932. Allied soldiers called their inflatable life-jackets after her in honour of her hourglass figure.
Her autobiography 'Goodness Had Nothing to Do with It' was a retort to one of her character's exclamation, "Goodness, what beautiful diamonds!"
She had an interesting way of speech, “If you’re trig and trim and straight and wiry you’ll travel in a slam-bang sports roadster, but if you’re curved and soft and elegant and grand, you’ll travel in a limousine.”
Mae West tested the censors many times throughout her career and relished the attention she got from starring in her outrageous plays.
On the 19th of April 1927 Mae West (August 1893 – November 1980) was found guilty of obscenity and spent ten days in jail for a play she wrote and starred in called ‘Sex’. 325,000 people had already watched it before she was arrested.
Media attention surrounding the incident enhanced her career, by crowning her the darling "bad girl" who "had climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong".
