    About Mae West

    Mary Jane West, known professionally as Mae West, was an American actress, singer, screenwriter, playwright, and comedian whose entertainment career spanned seven decades. Born on August 17, 1893, in Brooklyn, New York, she began performing in vaudeville during childhood. She gained widespread attention in the 1920s by writing and starring in controversial Broadway plays, including Sex, which led to legal battles over censorship. In the 1930s, West transitioned to Hollywood, becoming one of Paramount Pictures' top box-office attractions. She wrote or co-wrote screenplays for several of her major films, such as She Done Him Wrong and I'm No Angel, both released in 1933. Renowned for her sultry persona, sharp wit, and clever double entendres, West played a significant role in pushing the boundaries of cinematic censorship. She continued performing in theater, radio, television, and film in her later years. West died on November 22, 1980, in Los Angeles, California.

    A genuine Vedic Kundli for Mae West would need their exact birth time and place, and those are not in the public record. The Ascendant (Lagna), house placements, Nakshatra and Dasha timeline all change with just a few minutes' difference — so we don't invent a time or quietly default to noon. This profile therefore shows only what the birth date can honestly support: Sun sign, Moon sign (Rashi), Chinese zodiac and Life Path.
