• • The actress who will portray her mentioned distinctly feeling her presence during scenes.
• • The Assistant Director added, "You know, it's funny you should say that. I was just thinking after rehearsal today, that Mae West is around this project. I feel it, too.
• • In her book Mae West on Sex, Health, and ESP [London — New York: W. H. Allen, 1975; 237 pages], the Brooklyn bombshell explained that she did not feel limited by the standard notions about life and death.
• • Well, I don't live in the past, Mae West insisted — — "though I like t' see people from then. Cary Grant comes t' see me. Gilbert Roland, Bette Davis, Garbo. Jack LaRue, before he passed on, and George Raft. I almost married George. . . . An' I don't kid myself or have mystical illusions. I never drink or take anything."
• • In the play "Courting Mae West," the MAE WEST character encourages a newsman to write about her — — instead of devoting himself to his biography of Winfield Scott.
• • MAE WEST says, "I'm an actress with a future, see? History has no future."
• • It's been said that her benevolence continues to manifest itself around the production. More on that in a future column.
