She acted in vaudeville from age five and made her Hollywood debut in 1932. Unique among stars in that she wrote her own plays and film scripts mostly concerning the joys of men and sex.

Master of the risqu bon mot, West said in Im No Angel (1933),When Im good, Im very, very good, but when Im bad, Im better. She died Nov 22, 1980, at Los Angeles, CA.
