Named by the American Film Institute as one of the greatest female stars of all time, Mae West had actually made a name for herself on the New York stage before she decided to move west to Hollywood.
Famous for her bawdy quotes on sex, life and men, West often got herself into more trouble than she bargained for and was often censored for her comments.
Now, she is revered as a woman who made it entirely acceptable to discuss sex openly and boy, she was pretty funny while talking about it.
Have a flick through the gallery at some of her greatest quotes.
