Answer: Mae West!
A famous Mae West quip was "Is that a pistol in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?" She made this remark in February 1936, at the railway station in Los Angeles when a police officer was assigned to escort her home. She first delivered the line on film in She Done Him Wrong (1933), and again to George Hamilton in her last movie, Sextette.
