That's about it really.

Chickadee was her least favorite bcz it's really a Fields film she was shoehorned into.

Her very first film, Night After Night, is a George Raft vehicle that she completely takes over in her 15-20 minutes on screen.

I so want to be Mae West in that movie. Unfortunately most of the time I feel more like Alison Skipworth (although she is badass in certain other movies).

There's a supercut on YouTube of West in Myra Breckinridge. Popular culture has always taken the casting couch for granted, but the gender-flipped approach was cringeworthy even before Me Too.
