“She wanted to be known as an international sex symbol and would do anything to keep that title,” author Michael Gregg Michaud told Fox News Digital earlier this year. “She presented herself in a very sexy way. She surrounded herself with very sexy men.”

Michaud published a book about the classic Hollywood star in March: “Mae West and Her Adonises.”

“This is my third book about Mae West,” Michaud explained. “She had a very long and productive life. There are several biographies about her already, but I wanted to focus on this one aspect of her life that has never been fully explored.”

“I wanted to dig deeper into her nightclub performances and how they were perceived by the public. Yes, she was making movies, but she wanted to tour. And she never let her age limit the way she presented herself. She didn’t think there was anything old about a sexy woman.”
