March 5, 1978 –
Mae West’s final film, Sextette, was released on this date.
Eighty-four-year-old Mae West had trouble remembering her lines. She wore a wireless earpiece during filming, and Director Ken Hughes would speak her lines, which she would repeat. The earpiece occasionally picked up police radio transmissions. Once, West picked up a police call and repeated, “There’s a 608.”
