Final Jeopardy Explanation – Thursday, 26 September 2024

The woman referred to in the 1927 New York Times headline, “Witness Testifies [she] rewrote play and insisted on the spicy scenes because city liked them,” is Mae West. Mae West, a famed actress, playwright, and screenwriter, was known for her bold, controversial style and her flair for incorporating provocative themes into her work. She often faced censorship challenges due to the risqué nature of her plays and performances, which were considered daring and ahead of their time. West’s inclination towards including “spicy scenes” in her plays not only appealed to audiences but also frequently brought her into legal and societal conflicts, reflecting the cultural and moral dynamics of the era.
