Hardcover. Condition: Good. 256 pages. Some soiling inside the boards. Cover has some wear. Mae West wrote, produced and starred as Diamond Lil and toured from coast to coast. In 1949 she came back to Broadway. The play was based upon this book. James Watts, Jr., the scholarly dramatic writer of the New York Post, wrote that "Miss West is now a legend and an institution, rather than just an actress, and Diamond Lil is an American Phenomenon, instead of merely a drama. She and it are.modern classics." Her 1928 play, Diamond Lil, about a racy, easygoing, and ultimately very smart lady of the 1890s, became a Broadway hit and cemented West's image in the public's eye. This show had an enduring popularity and West successfully revived it many times during her career. She brought her character, now renamed "Lady Lou", to the screen in She Done Him Wrong (1933). Mary Jane "Mae" West (August 17, 1893 - November 22, 1980) was an American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, comedian, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned seven decades, known for her lighthearted bawdy double entendres and breezy sexual independence. West was active in vaudeville and on the stage in New York City before moving to Hollywood to become a comedian, actress and writer in the motion picture industry, as well as appearing on radio and television. West was one of the more controversial movie stars of her day and encountered many problems, especially censorship. She bucked the system, making comedy out of conventional mores, and the Depression-era audience admired her for it. She wrote books and plays and continued to perform in Las Vegas, in the United Kingdom, on radio and television and to record rock and roll albums. She was once asked about the various efforts to impede her career, to which she replied: "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it." First edition thus (updated from 1932 version).

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Charming presentation copy, playfully inscribed by Mae West to her co-star Richard Coogan WEST, Mae. Diamond Lil. New York: Sheridan House, 1949. Mae West (1893-1980), legendary film star and sex symbol of the Golden age of Hollywood, was also a very successful playwright and screenwriter. She wrote and produced her own plays and scripts, and she starred in her scenarios on stage and screen. Such is the case with Diamond Lil, which was first created as a play, turned into a novel, and then produced into a film. West conceived the hip-swaying, wise-cracking Diamond Lil Gilded Age femme fatale of the Lower Manhattan underworld - as a character and as an alter ego. Diamond Lil was first published as a play in 1928, and produced into a hit Broadway show the same year, with Mae West starring in the leading role. In 1932, West adapted her play into a novel, and the following year she brought her Diamond Lil character, renamed Lady Lou, onto the silver screen in She Done Him Wrong (1933), starring Cary Grant as the heroine s love interest, Captain Cummings. The film was a box-office success and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture. This edition of Mae West s novel was issued to coincide with the 1949 Broadway revival of Diamond Lil. The production was directed by Charles K. Freeman, and featured Mae West in the leading role, and Richard Coogan as Captain Cummings, Lil s object of lust. This is a charming presentation copy, playfully inscribed by Mae West to her co-star Richard Coogan who played the part of Capt. Cummings in the play Diamond Lil in 1949 , with best wishes from Diamond Lil and the author . Richard Coogan (1914-2014) was an American actor best known for his portrayal of Captain Video in Captain Video and His Video Rangers from 1949 to 1950. 256 pp. 8vo, some wear to spine ends. Endpapers browned. Good in very good dust-jacket (slight edgewear). Dust jacket art depicting the fabulous Diamond Lil by Baryé Phillips. Signed by Author(s).
