Klondike Annie is a 1936 black-and-white comedy film starring Mae West and Victor McLaglen. The film was co-written by West from one of her plays and directed by Raoul Walsh. This film caused a rift between West and William Randolph Hearst , who decided never to print West's name in any of his newspapers. The reason given was the racy material of the film and West's sexual persona. This may have been considered hypocritical, due to his extramarital affair with actress Marion Davies. This and a famous radio appearance announced the end of her period at Paramount Pictures. She was quoted as saying " I may have invited censorship into Hollywood , but I also saved the industry and Paramount."
