Though the story is at Mae West`s expense, evidently she loved telling it and even did so in her autobiography. In 1933, Max was in Hollywood filming "The Prizefighter and the Lady". On one of his days off from filming, Max drove on over to Mae`s and was soon calling to her from the street outside her L.A. apartment. West invite him to come up and see her sometime-sometime like right now. Sure enough, the couple ended up in bed. As Mae reclined after their lovemaking, Max rose and went to the window of her bedroom. Pulling up the window shade, he began to wave, standing up and still completely naked, to someone down in the street. Max was waving to his agent, who had just lost a $500 bet they had made that Max could bed West on the spot.
