Quotes by Jill Watts (?)

“For her, sex revolved around control, personal advancement, and sometimes revenge. Richman told Berle of an afternoon sexual rendezvous when West insisted the radio be tuned to a baseball game so she could stay awake. Despite Richman’s legendary lovemaking, West remained more interested in the power than in the passion that could be derived from sex.”
― Jill Watts, Mae West: An Icon in Black and White
