Mae West's film career and then her radio career were really thwarted by censorship #RetroView #ImNoAngel

@analgesicsleep they remind me of geisha shoes. But instead of shuffling she seems to put each foot right in front of the other when she walks. #retroview #ImNoAngel

While Libby Taylor, Hattie McDaniel, Gertrude Howard weren’t even fully credited for their work in “I’m No Angel” (1933) and they played domestics, the fact that Mae West hired 3 Black American actresses was pretty groundbreaking

Mae West’s iconic wiggle was the product of her being inspired by vaudeville drag performers and b/c underneath her dresses she would wear these weird double decker shoes to make herself taller than her natural 5ft height

“I’m No Angel” (1933) was written by and stars Mae West. While it was her 3rd film appearance, West was a major broadway and night club star.
