Mae West went to great lengths to draw people's attention to her perfect smile. But she wore false teeth. Who has the dentures now? Hint: they are in California.

So "bite me" may not be part of her repertoire?
JD Hartman Mae West often pulled that silly stunt: opening her mouth wide to proclaim she had no cavities. I'm guessing that expensive, well-made dentures were so rare during the Great Depression, a reporter could not recognize "store bought teeth." :-)
Andrew Sobkovich Mae West put a lot of things in her mouth. I guess some procedures are more pleasurable when the lady first removes her teeth, eh??? (wink)

Perhaps 60 Minutes will do a story on the secret location of Mae's teeth.

What a link! Thank you so much. JD Hartman
