Mae West with George Raft in her movie debut “Night After Night,” 1932. It was a gangster/love story with George Raft and Constance Cummings in the lead roles, but Mae as side character brassy babe Maude (based on the real life Texas Guinan) gave the standout performance and launched her Hollywood career. George Raft is famously quoted about Mae’s performance in his movie, “She stole everything but the cameras.” #maewest #mae #georgeraft #nightafternight #1930s #oldhollywood #oldhollywoodglam |
