MAE and MADONNA : Come Up and See a Real Star Sometime

Your article comparing Mae West and Madonna was bizarre. Writer Anthony must be a Madonna groupie to elevate her to the status of Mae West.

Sure, they both had works titled “Sex”: Mae West wrote and starred in a Broadway hit by that name; Madonna posed for nude photos in a book by that name. Some comparison.

I know a bit about West. Anthony was really stretching his facts. While Madonna must be credited with selling many pop records, West was a star.

I hope that Anthony’s upcoming documentary about West won’t cheapen her. Her fans are not easily fooled.
