MAE WEST'S MUSCLEMAN REVUE LAS VEGAS 1950's


Legendary Hollywood sex siren of the 30's Mae West decided to do a Las Vegas Show for $20,000
a week, that no one would ever forget. As well as her bawdy jokes and singing, Mae had a posse of the
hottest hand picked musclemen in L.A to liven things up. 

Mae West and her lead muscleman Dick DuBoise get cosy. Mae is in her 60's here.

who Jayne Mansfield stole from her act, and married. 

Mae West's Muscleman Review opened successfully at the Sahara in Las Vegas in 1954


Mae loved being carried around by men

Dick DuBois was the most beautiful of her musclemen

Mae West knew the men in the audience would be watching her, so she had musclemen in her act for the wives to enjoy....
and a few of the boys too. 

Mae West interviewed musclemen for her act in a see through top with rouged nipples. She had always had well built men as her lovers, as well as a few black prize fighters. 

Mae West's musclemen fondly remember their time in her show, saying Mae was a helluva woman, and a great lady who
showed a genuine admiration for them. 


Mae in her private life was not a party girl, and was a very discreet teetotaler , interested in Spiritualism and the hereafter. She regularly donated large sums to charities and church groups. She had wisely bought up property in Hollywood early in her career, and thus, never really had to work again. Her one vice apart from men, was she loved to attend prize fights. Her home was the Ravenswood  Apartments in Hollywood where she often would tell fans to "Come up and see me sometime"


In the 60's Mae West recorded a few albums of pop music that included 'Great Balls of Fire' and 'Day Tripper'. 

In 1970 Mae West's comeback movie at 78,  after a few decades away from films was the camp classic Myra Breckinridge . Mae played a sex crazed talent scout while  Raquel Welch played a transgendered Myra.  One of Mae's studs was Tom Selleck. The film is wonderful in its own bad-taste way, showing many clips of old Hollywood legends, and giving Mae the 'you gotta see it to believe it'  production number 'You've gotta taste all the fruit'. 

Sextette was Mae's last film. She was well into her 80's, and was as usual, surrounded by a bevy of men.
