Help us designate Mae West Curve in Hancock Park, Los Angeles, CA!
We would like to see a brown city sign erected in the legendary Hollywood actress Mae West's name on Rossmore Avenue between Melrose Avenue and Beverly Blvd. to commemorate the 50 year span that Mae West had residing on Rossmore Avenue in the Ravenswood Apartments as well as her groundbreaking history as a woman in Hollywood. The sign and stretch of land would be known as MAE WEST CURVE. It is important that we show community support to the city of Los Angeles for this project. We have been working with them to make this happen and will continue to update you on the next and necessary steps.
Mae West is a Hollywood maven often copied for her style and wit and deserves this honor to solidify her place in history as Hollywood's first blonde bombshell and as well as saving Paramount Pictures from bankruptcy. In short, there probably would not be any Hancock Park to speak of without her contributions to the movie industry that built the neighborhood.
Please sign the petition if you are in support of this honor.
Thank you for your support!

Seeing one hundred people sign this in honor of Mae West feels surreal. Walking past the Ravenswood every day reminds me why she belongs on our street signs and I am truly moved by your interest in preserving her history here.

Seeing the count climb toward five hundred reminds me how much this neighborhood truly cherishes Mae and her legacy at the Ravenswood. We need a final surge of support to prove to the city that this stretch of Rossmore deserves the recognition.

I was born and raised in Hollywood and I couldn’t think of a better way to honor this glamorous American sex symbol than by giving her another “curve” to admire.
Mae West's curves set Hollywood on its ear for 47 years and it is time for her former neighbourhood to honor her by naming the North Rossmore / Vine street curve in her memory!
I not only met Mae West but actual had the honor of playing her several times in my career. She is and was a force and did throw a curve into the Hollywood evolution. She deserves it.
Mae must never be forgotten in Hollywood. If L. Ron has a street named after him, surely LA can see the value and importance of honoring Mae West.
It was common knowledge that Mae West lived at Ravenswood as word had gotten out and she was our neighborhood’s BIG celebrity. I remember seeing her in the 60s with her long white hair when I was a little girl, sitting in the back seat of her limo being driven by her chauffeur.
We should commemorate Mae West in any way possible
Mae West had a tremendous impact on film and Hollywood being a major powerhouse in an all Male dominated field. She created the genre of "Camp." Her acting styles and business sense are still being emulated by actors and actresses of today.

I often think of her taking ownership of the Ravenswood from a racist landlord when I drive through that intersection. We should honor her career and legacy in this modest way.
