Sex goddess Mae West is responsible for some of the most quoted lines in film history:
* Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
* When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better.

Charlotte Chandler recorded Mae West over a period of roughly a month towards the end of the star's life. She was still as vital and lively as ever, and this book will convey all of Mae West's legendary attitude.
