Mae West (comic book + 2 CD)

Mae West est le premier « sex symbol » du cinéma. Après des débuts remarqués au théâtre, dans des vaudevilles burlesques, dans lesquels elle affirme son goût prononcé pour la provocation et l?humour licencieux ? notamment dans sa première pièce Sex qui lui coûta huit jours d?emprisonnement ? elle conquiert Hollywood. Accumuler les scandales, ne fait qu?accroître sa popularité et l?encourage à détourner plus encore les règles de la morale et de la décence. Mais outre ses conflits avec la censure, Hollywood se souviendra surtout d?elle pour sa joie de vivre, son incapacité à se soumettre aux règles, sa beauté particulière et surtout sa contribution à l?émancipation sexuelle des femmes.

Mae West was the first sex symbol in films. After her highly noticeable debuts on the stage in vaudeville ? in which she emphasised her pronounced taste for provocation and lusty humour, as in her own play called Sex, which cost her eight days in jail ? she went on to conquer Hollywood. One scandal after another merely increased her popularity, and it encouraged her to bend the rules of morality and decency even more. But apart from her fight with the censors, Hollywood still remembers the actress for her joie de vivre, her disobedience, her strange beauty and, above all, her contribution to the sexual emancipation of women.
