Hey, nobody's mentioning that it's M&M time. Gotta be Mabel and Mae West.

This photo is in Mabel's book, HOLD THAT TIGER (1938, reprinted in 1946). She doubled for Mae West in I'M NO ANGEL (Paramount, 1936), and the two hit it off. Mae had a stunning career, and was once asked if she could have wanted anything else. She repied, "I might have liked to be this tiger gal, Mabel Stark." To which Mabel said, "Fine with me, I'd like to be Mae West."
