#7  Mae West was one of the very few superstars of her time to set up her own production team and make real money from her fame. Despite any appearance of amity on-screen, she and W.C. Fields mutually despised one another. Field's referred to her as, "A plumber's vision of Cleopatra". West got the best revenge by outliving Fields. According to legend, Mae died with all her own teeth in her head. Some priceless quotes of hers:

"I used to be Snow White, but I drifted."

[at a dinner party, the hostess exclaims about West's diamonds]

HOSTESS: Good gracious what beautiful diamonds!

WEST: Goodness had nothing to do with it.
