Mae West.
During her entire career, Mae West strove to perfect her "Diamond Lil" image to the exclusion of even considering accepting any film role that would take away from "her"character. Case in point was West's refusal to star in Sunset Blvd. and in retrospect, it was probably a wise career move.
