• • On Sunday, 21 March 1982, Miss West and her career were the subject of the annual testimonial dinner put on by the Friends of the Libraries at the USC campus in Los Angeles, wrote Jon Tuska in his book "The Complete Films of Mae West."
• • The event was organized by Stanley Musgrove, president of the group, and his co-author George Eells. They summoned this gathering to introduce their biography about the Brooklyn bombshell which had been published by Morrow that year: "Mae West: The Lies, the Legend, the Truth."
