I think perhaps the appeal of West was that she was simply extreme--she went further with the innuendo and sex than anyone else did, which made her fascinating. <br /><br />Current cognate?

I'm guessing that the exaggerated movements and persona were meant to be tongue-in-cheek - and struck a nerve during the era.<br /><br />To a lesser extent, I see the same thing with Marilyn Monroe's performances (although her work is considerably more nuanced). Still, i doubt either would have reached the heights they did if they were just starting out today.Klaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006608076041962884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-51040758539466484032011-10-21T16:52:33.638-05:002011-10-21T16:52:33.638-05:00Yeah--more than creepy.
