MAE WEST
Black and white publicity photograph of Mae West wearing a skin tight
ball gown sitting at a piano.
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To/Harry/Sin-cerely/Mae
West". B/w, 8x10. The vivacious, risqué Mae West (1892-1980) had such
success portraying Lil in the play's first production at New York's Royale
Theatre that she became the acknowledged queen of camp with her sexual
innuendoes and double entendres. Her nearly single-handed sexual revolution
took Hollywood by surprise in the early 1930s, when West starred in such films
as Night After Night(1932) and She Done Him Wrong(1933), the film version of Diamond Lil, in which she uttered her
famous line, "Come up and see me sometime" (to co-star Cary Grant). Although
she made only 12 films, most of them have become classic comedy hits, including
Klondike Annie (1936) and My Little Chickadee (1940), which
co-starred the inimitable W.C. Fields. The talented lady from Brooklyn also
directed some of her plays, such as Drag (1927), and wrote most of her
own nightclub material and scripts. No show through from mounting adhesive on
verso.
