Mae West

The Pyramid Illustrated History of the Movies is a series of volumes that offers a comprehensive overview and brings a fresh perspective to the influential figures, forms, and styles in the development of motion pictures. Each lavishly illustrated volume has been designed to stimulate the interest of the student for whom film is an art, and to stir the memories of the fan for whom “going to the movies” will always be an exhilarating experience. —With her undulating walk, her insinuating voice, and her hilariously blunt approach to the subject of sex, Mae West still retains a legion of faithful fans who watch and love her movies. Michael Baver’s book combines a perceptive text with many rare photographs to celebrate the living legend and the national treasure called Mae.
