Hello! I'm Gail Nobles. Welcome to another episode of Actors, Stories, and Film. Today I'm thinking about the time when I was a little girl watching little Janet Jackson as May West. I didn't know who May West was until I had learned who Janet was imitating. May West was before my time. Janet Jackson was amazing acting as May West when she was a little girl.
I remember on the TV comedy Good Times when she imitated May West while talking on a CB.

“Well, I'm very mature for my age.”

She would put her hands on her hip. Janet Jackson was an awesome May West. I think Janet would say her own lines imitating Mae West, but I remember Janet saying a famous line by May West.

"Why don't you come up and see me sometime.” Janet would pat her hair near the back of her neck just like May West.

I haven't seen Janet Jackson act like May West in decades. Now that she's a grown woman, she probably could act out May West better than she did before. Janet could make a small black and white mini movie and bring it in color acting as Mae West with song and dance. She could show off May West’s style and fashion and add her own.

In case you're wondering, May West was an American actress singer, comedian, screenwriter, and playwright whose career Spand over seven decades. She was considered a sex symbol, and that's who Janet Jackson is. People consider her also as a sex symbol.

I'm Gail Nobles. Today's episode: Janet Jackson as May West.
